Word nerds, assemble! ✍️ Te longest word in the English dictionary is pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis — but luckily, today’s riddle isn’t that cruel. Instead, you’ll play with a sneaky little word that shifts meanings with just a tiny change. Ready to twist your brain around some letters?

I am a word with three meanings:

  1. With me, you’ll find yourself inside something.

  2. Add one letter, and I become a place to rest.

  3. Change one letter, and I become a body of water.

What word am I? 🌀

Did you get stuck trying huge words instead of simple ones? The trick here is thinking small. One base word, a tiny tweak, and suddenly you’re moving from inside, to a nap spot, to something you might sail across. Elegant, right?
