Question 1 of 15
1. A telescope word is one that is three words in one. If you drop the first letter of a word, you get a new word, and drop the first letter again for one more word. For instance, a clue might read "beverage - skating _ - pen fluid." A beverage is a drink, and subtract a letter for rink, and subtract a letter for ink. Got it, ok!

Remember, all these words begin with the letter A! Just give the longest word. For instance, in the previously worked example, you would give "drink" as your answer.
