What word of five letters has only one left when you remove the first four?
Postal
The word 'postal' contains 'post' (the first four letters). Removing 'p-o-s-t' leaves 'al', which phonetically sounds like 'all' (or 'left' as in remaining). Wait, 'postal' minus 'post' is 'al'. Let's use a tighter one: 'Queue'. When you say the letter Q, it sounds like the whole word.
