23. Longer but Shorter

What word becomes shorter when you add 2 letters to it?

Submitted by bedead · Added 31 May 2018

Solution:

The word 'short' becomes 'shorter' when you add the letters 'er' to it. This is a play on words, as 'shorter' is a comparative form of 'short,' making the word itself longer in spelling but indicating a shorter length.
