Word riddle: I am a five letter word usually below you, remove letters and I move above or become invisible – what am I?

Introduction / Context:
This is a classic word riddle built on letter removal and meaning change. The puzzle gives a five letter word that is normally below you, then describes what happens when the first and then the first two letters are removed. The new shorter words must still be valid English words whose meanings fit the clues above you and you cannot see me. This tests both vocabulary and logical reasoning about word structure.

Given Data / Assumptions:
- The original word has five letters and is normally below you.

- Removing the first letter produces a new word that is found above you.

- Removing the first and second letters produces yet another word that you cannot see.

- The answer should be a common word, familiar to school level learners.

- The options include several five letter nouns; only one should generate the correct chain of meanings when letters are removed.

Concept / Approach:
The correct chain is CHAIR, HAIR, and AIR. A chair is a piece of furniture that you sit on, normally below your body. If you remove the first letter C, you get HAIR, which grows on your head and is therefore above you. Removing the first two letters C and H gives AIR, which is all around you and above you, but it is invisible so you cannot see it. The riddle is cleverly constructed around these three related words.

Step-by-Step Solution:
Step 1: Look for a five letter word that can logically be below a person, such as CHAIR, TABLE, or FLOOR. Step 2: Test CHAIR by removing the first letter C to form HAIR. Hair is on top of your head and can be described as above you, which fits the second clue. Step 3: Remove the first two letters C and H from CHAIR to get AIR. Air is present everywhere but cannot be seen, matching the third clue. Step 4: Confirm that all three words are valid English words and that their meanings fit each part of the riddle exactly. Step 5: Verify that other options do not produce such a neat and meaningful sequence when letters are removed.

Verification / Alternative check:
Try the same process with other options. TABLE minus T does not give a meaningful object above you, and minus TA does not give an invisible word. FLOOR minus F creates LOOR, which is not a word, and minus FL creates OOR, which is also invalid. Cloud does not generate a sensible pair of new words either. Only Chair gives the chain Chair, Hair, Air that respects the clues.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Table: Although it can be below you, removing letters does not lead to meaningful words that match above and invisible. Floor: Always below, but the letter removal process fails. Cloud: Generally above, which already conflicts with the first clue that the original word is normally below you.

Common Pitfalls:
A common mistake is to focus only on the first clue and choose any object that is physically below a person. Others do not check whether the shortened forms are real words. For word riddles, it is essential to verify each transformation and meaning carefully.

Final Answer:
The five letter word that becomes HAIR and then AIR is Chair.
