If the title is meant to be a constraint to the type and location of the letter addition, may I strongly recommend you make that abundantly clear. Right now the puzzle per se only requires adding a single letter, vowel or consonant, at any place in the word - which may be your intent, but given the title I suspect not.

@Rubio I think the title only refers to "me" the original and target word of the riddle.
