Suffix stripping is a problem of removing morphological suffixes from a word to get the stem. We present suffix stripping as an unconstrained optimization problem. Free from linguistic or morphological knowledge, a simple algorithm is being developed. Superiority of the algorithm over an established technique for English language is being demonstrated.
