Top answer

I couldn't find an eight-letter word that would work. I assumed that the single letter must be "A" or "I", and found the two-letter words that start with these letters, then found the three-letter words that could be formed by adding a letter to the two-letter words, and so on. I found a couple of seven-letter words starting with "A".
