yeah not a good teaser you said add three letters there wasn't anything to do with quantity other than three thus limiting it to three letters total therefore intelligable is INCORRECT
On the contrary silent hawk, it was your assumption that was incorrect. If you read that only a quantity of three letters could be added, then you were indeed tricked by the teaser. After all, it is in the "trick" category.
very nice teaser! it seemed so predictable, but then the predicted outcome was a trick in itself! bravo!
So accordingly "Good" is a 3 letter word?
No, "good" is a four-letter word, but it is written using three letters - it's just that you have to use one letter twice.
i agree with silent hawk & jim
I totally got that letters could be repeated, but the word "intelligble" escaped my attention. Good one
Nice! I like the easy ones! Great job!
Got it after the hint. Great job!
Its like hangman, where if you geuss a letter it will appear more than once.
