Intellectual Teaser
Look at the following seven words carefully ...
banana
dresser
grammar
potato
revive
uneven
assess
... and cudgel your brains to see if you can determine what it is that they all have in common.dresser
grammar
potato
revive
uneven
assess
Other than having at least doubles of one or more letters.
MMM!
The thinking bit!
How are you going?
Okay - what they also all have in common is that, if you take the first letter, put it at the end and reverse the word, you end up with the same word.
Something silly (I know) but it helped pass the time with my first coffee of the day!
It doesn't work for "asses," does it? If you move the "a" to the end and then turn the word around, you get "asess" -- a word, true, but not the same one.
ReplyDeleteI hate to quibble, but the last word does not work. If that was "assess" and not "asses" you'd have hit a home run.
