It's a teaser and a vocab lesson!
good one
good teaser....i wouldn't have gotten it right even if i did know what a missive was before reading this
Good one
wow! i never would have gotten that! that wuz a good teaser!
i still dont get how you put a letter on DIS to get DISMISSIVE???????
robxxx, a MISSIVE is a synonym for "note or LETTER" (the kind you write and send in the mail). a LETTER (ie, MISSIVE) was added to the end of DIS. get it now?
cool one
don't forget to write your thank-you-missives for birthday presents! lol!

Neat! DIS teaser IS tricky!
should've been categorized as language?
It was a trick, but only with useless trivia. Boring.
........not so great.
Cool it was kinda hard though but you gotta get at least a little challenged once and a while
I thought i was supposed to add "a letter" to DIS. But that's not an actual word. Yet again you didn't say it had to be and actual word....
hence the trick category....sigh.
cool...
wow, this one was absolutely perfect
even though I knew it was a trick I didn't get it...
it certainly was a trick too.
i was thinking along of the lines of only haveing 4 letters, but being tricky to get 10, like having 10 in Roman Numerals or something.
Great teaser!

Hahaha. That's fantastic. I didn't know what a missive was so no chance that I would have gotten it. But good one!
I kept thinking of how to add a letter so the four letter word would mean someting related to ten.. like deca, deci, etc.
