    Word Puzzle

    I'm only posting this for my smart friends. I could not figure
    it out and had to look at the answer. If you can figure out what these
    words have in common, you are a lot smarter than I am.

    Banana
    Dresser
    Grammar
    Potato
    Revive
    Uneven
    Assess

    Are you peeking or have you already given up?


    Give it another try . .
    You will kick yourself when you discover the answer.
    Go back and look at them again; think hard.
    OK . . . Here You Go . . . Hope You Didn't Cheat.

    This Is Cool.

    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.

    So if you remove the first letter they are all palindromes.

      I guess I'm not one of your smart friends.

        Sounds like question #11 on a Mensa test.

          They're palindromes with a little something extra!

            I got it half right! I saw that if you took the first letter out - it was the same . . . i.e. a "palindrome" even though I never heard of palindrome before.

                I was thinking the same thing... It's loaded with this type. They were going to use more questions of different types a few years back, but I don't know if they ever did.
