Riddles

What about dedicating a thread to riddles?
I guess, it would be fun!

Here is the first one:
A word I know, Six letters it contains, Subtract just one, And twelve is what remains. What is the word?

*its possible*

But then there is no effective way to control spam. The limit was introduced to eliminate 1-2 word posts. This causes a little inconvenience, but we will have to deal with it.

Yeah! I can very well see what happens when one writes an article😉

Try out this:

What lives as long as it eats but dies when it drinks?

Try to post in another when you answer.
