The four letters form a word ("the first word")? A four letter word? And you can add one letter to the word so you get another word ("the second word") which is the opposite of the first word? Do you add the letter to the end of the first word? Does the first word contain any two identical letters? The second word? Is the first word standard English? The second word? | ||

Would it be cheating to just demand LTPF lists of letters? Does the word change tense when a letter is added? Is the first word a verb? A noun? An adjective? Is the second word a verb? A noun? An adjective? | ||

is the first word a proper noun? is the second word a proper noun? is the added letter a vowel? I assume "letter" means letters from the alphabet, and not a bit of correspondence. Correct? | ||

Could this puzzle be summed up as follows : There is a four letter word that when you add another letter to it you arrive at a word that means the opposite of the original 4 letter one? | ||

Is the extra letter added at the beginning? In the middle? Is there a straightforward answer? Eg. Princes + s = Princess Or is it more lateral? | ||

Could both words be used in the following contexts: I smelled the {noun}. I plugged in/put a battery in the {noun}. The {noun} jumped on me. The {noun} did something to me. I ate the {noun}. I saw the {noun}. I heard the {noun}. I felt the {noun}. | ||

Are both words in English? both in the same other language? in different, other languages? one in English and one not? Also, I don't exactly know what you mean about "specific" noun. Do you mean the nouns are abstract concepts? that they are names of a class of related things? | ||

I think we are misunderstanding each other here. I understood your previous responses as indicating that there are two senses of each word, one in which each functions as an adverb and the other in which each functions as a noun. For example, in Quovynyte's example of the word "well", it can function as an adverb ("We did the job WELL") or as a noun ("I threw the coin into the WELL for good luck"). In the first sense, the opposite would be something like "poorly". In the noun sense of a water-filled hole, there is really no opposite for the word "well". So both words are commonly used as nouns, but are they opposites in this sense? They are less commonly used as nouns, but do they remain opposites when used in this sense? Or are we totally on the wrong track in assuming these are actual antonyms? | ||

So both words are commonly used as adverbs, but are they opposites in this sense? Are their noun meaning aren't relevant at all? Which type of adverb was the first word? Adverbs of Manner? Ex. Mary eats sandwiches very carefully. Adverbs of Time? Ex. She's going to eat ham 'n' cheese next week. Adverbs of Comment: Ex. Unfortunately, she ran out of bread yesterday. Adverbs of Frequency? Ex. She usually puts mayonnaise on her salad sandwiches. Adverbs of Degree? Ex. She likes toasties a lot. What about the second adverb? | ||

Was one of the adverbs: Bad? Fast? Late? Much? Loud? Little? Straight? Far? Near? High? Low? Wide? first? Long? Did it end in -ically? Oh and I forgot: Adverbs of Location? Ex. She placed the butter far away from the lettuce. | ||
