Three, it's a magic number
What three-letter word can be added to the following words to form three common six-letter words?
I should have said Andy and Karnov in the last comment.
Andy (and I mean just Andy this time), adding can take place in either direction. And misdirection just adds to the spice of the questions. I do admit, I went in the wrong direction when I saw this puzzle, too.
Leave your answer or, if you want to post a question of your own, send me an e-mail. Look in the about section to find my e-mail address. If it's new, I'll post it soon.

I guess it's bot..
ReplyDeletebother, botany, bottom.
I question whether bot is a real word, and I question your clue of "adding" it...which definitely implies putting the new word on the end...
Bot - bot is short for robot. I guess it would work
ReplyDeleteAdding "bot" makes bother, botany, and bottom.
ReplyDeleteKarnov, I thought bot was a word, and not just slang. Am I wrong?
