-- Puzzle... (http://discussion.visorcentral.com/vcforum/showthread.php?threadid=15289)
Think of a familiar 3-letter word that has two syllables. Add five letters
to it to get a common 8-letter word that only has one syllable. What word is
it? Hint: All the letters that are added go at the front or at the end.
I don't know the answer myself either...I wonder if it can be solved at all...

i was thinking about 3 letter words and came up with "ion" .. now just to find 5 additional letters to slap in front of it .. 
joe
ps -- someone told me that this CAN be solved..
This could be some sort of distributed brain network...if we all work at this, we should be able to solve it!
some 3 letter, 2-syllable words:
via
boa
ado

Anybody can think of a 8-letter word with only one syllable?

smoothed, clutched, breathed ?, trounced, flounced, cleansed, glimpsed, clinched, sheathed, squeezed,
everything I think of ends in "ed."
Now I'm thinking of a few choice four-letter, one-syllable words for this puzzle ...
there's 'schmaltz' and 'schnapps' but with all those consonants they don't fit the other criteria.
straight?
Does it have to be an English word?
I've been dwelling on this riddle for too long today.
I have to go do something else.

'syllable' is an eight letter word with one 'syllable'
trick question?

It seems as though any three-letter word with two syllables would have to have two vowel sounds in it?
Can anyone confirm or deny?
I agree with narnia_77 about puzzles ...

They just had this puzzle on NPR today...but I only caught part of the answer. The 3 letter word is 'ole'

Here are all the eight letter words with "ole" at the beginning or end, from the Merriam-Webster online dictionary (didn't see any one syllable ones, but I am a programmer, not an linguist. When I worry about syntax, it has to do with FOR..NEXT loops and where all my semi-colons are):
code:
oleander oleaster olefinic amitrole beanpole blowhole borehole braciole bunghole cabriole camisole capriole caracole clodpole coalhole coalhole diastole escarole flagpole fumarole girasole hellhole kneehole knothole loophole monopole ovariole peephole pesthole picomole porthole posthole seminole sinkhole slipsole thiazole turnsole wormhole
