See if you can figure out what these words have in common.

1 Banana
2 Dresser
3 Grammar
4 Potato
5 Revive
6 Uneven
7 Assess

Are you peeking or have you already given up?
Give it another try. Look at each word carefully.


Answer: No, it is not enough that they all have at least 2 letters repeated in the word.

Right Answer:

In all of the words listed, if you take the first letter, place it at the end of the word and then spell the word backwards, it will be the same word.

Very clever Barb. I didn't get it, I thought it was that 2 letters were repeated in each word. I would never have come up with the correct answer.

Is that called a Brain Teaser? Remember, my brain has been altered!! 1rnfl

Clever is right! English can be such a bizarre language. What will they think of next?... '-)
