0 Izzy Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 Does it have anything to do with antonyms or letter counting or anything? I'm still confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It fit the requirements, but i have a feeling this "I’m missing a letter, not three." is why it isn't right or you could just be picky and want me to say the answer is host in stead of ghost.

0 Guest Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 Your answer is a word which may mean any of the clues if a single letter in the spelling is added or conversely each clue's synonym less a letter will give the answer? This one is going to be tough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, no... I play fair... This one is going to be tough. Each clue's synonym less a letter will give the answer? The part of the sentence I left in your spoiler is correct!!!

0 Guest Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 "Loud" would be "noisy", and take away the i, to make it "nosy"? Then do we keep the "i" or the "nosy"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
