$\begingroup$ It's totally tangential, but I thought I'd check: "composers" seems to admit the longest sequence. It depends on "compo" and "compos" both being words, which are pretty obscure. $\endgroup$– Scott LawrenceCommented Oct 8, 2019 at 2:25

2$\begingroup$ Is this your own puzzle, or did you get it from somewhere else? $\endgroup$– HerbCommented Oct 8, 2019 at 15:30

1$\begingroup$ Do you have some way to identify a correct or best answer? $\endgroup$– Ben BardenCommented Oct 8, 2019 at 21:22

1$\begingroup$ I think this is an open-ended question. There is no 'correct' solution and minimization questions like these tend to have a lot of answers. Please do not post these, and have one with a verifiably correct answer. Therefore I am marking this as too broad. If anyone disagrees, I'd like to see their take on it. $\endgroup$– DuckCommented Oct 9, 2019 at 4:06

$\begingroup$ Agree with @Duck, per the meta consensus. To OP: unless you can add additional specifications to help narrow down possible solutions, this question will likely be closed, unfortunately $\endgroup$– HTMCommented Oct 9, 2019 at 5:00

1$\begingroup$ @Duck - True, and that could be applied to basically every answer. $\endgroup$ Commented Oct 8, 2019 at 15:38

$\begingroup$ @Duck R is a letter, not a word. The puzzle is looking for "a real word". $\endgroup$– JeffCCommented Oct 8, 2019 at 21:14

How about
Ford Pinto
Because:

If you count proper nouns (names):
Ferrari Mondial
Because:
Mondial
Mondia - Swiss bicycle company
Mondi - Paper & Packaging company
Mond - a Nickel or Chemical company, or a river
Mon - several places, or an old Japanese currency
Or, depending on an atomic abbreviation or an obscure Asian name:
Fiat Punto
Because:
Punto
Punt - to kick something
Pun - joke involving a play on words
Pu - see above
P - 16th letter of the alphabet
I think these are dredging the bottom of the bucket, but thought I'd list them just the same.
