Default Word game fun.

See if you can figure out what these seven words all have in common!

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

I know when we find out the answer, we're going to slap ourselves upside the head!

Well, if you remove the first letter, all the words have the same letters forward as backward.

Right?

If you move the first letter to the end of the word, it will be spelled backwards....just like pooh was getting at. Good job pooh !

That's correct. Good work, pooh. If you remove the first letter of each word and move it to the end of the word, you get the same word spelled backwards.
