Good job.
I put this up on the board for one of my maths classes today and one of the students pointed out another answer that works - ewe. Add and f at the start and an r at the end and you have fewer. This would have to be one of my all-time favourite teasers though.
I REALLY ENJOYED THIS TEASER. KEEP IT UP!
ooooo! i get it now....
I KNOW! Wanna know how I knew? Mosoh told me this before, but hse said she got it from you, and when she told me I didn't know it, so what was the point of me posting this?
I heard this before.

That was really good!

it could be ten (10). Ten has three letters. add two letters to three letters which equals five letters. a number with five letters is three (3). three (3) is less than ten.
whoa! ya got me on this one

That was a good one. I enjoyed it.
very nice
very good, i can't believe i didn't get it!
very easy, i know another one just like it, what one syllable word can be said quicker when two letters are added to it. Now if i need to tell you the answer, you don't deserve to live.
ha ha that was cool
at first i was like if you use one then add n at the beginning it becomes none but then i realized n was just one letter
anyways, i loved the teaser!

i saw this, yet it was "short" and "shorter"
it could also be the word "ewe".
when you add the 2 letters F and R at the front and back, respectively, it spells the word fewer

poo becomes pooey
cool teaser, but I'd seen it before.
Sooo easy...
This is one of the best teasers - nice little twist, not too tough but not too easy. Great job (even if it was copied from somewhere)!
Cute... it should have been easy but my brain just doesn't work like that ;)
It was sort of a vague question. There are more answer, but that was probably the best.
blackbelt...the whole POINT of teasers is to make them misleading
Gr8 teaser, I got it after looking at it twice

Yeah hey sftball_girl! Anyway way too easy but great teaser!
Great! I should do my HW now instead of wasting time on riddles...
Cool. This teaser rocks!
You know the riddle also works if you consider the words "three", add "two" and the word "five" has fewer letters.
Just an observation there are two valid answers.

I got it right. Had to think for a minute, and that's what we are here for. Thanks for posting.
