Can You See What These Words Have In Common?

June 15th 2007 07:10
Give this PLENTY of thought, and don't cheat!

I am only posting this for the smart orblers okay?

See If You Can Figure Out What These Words Have In Common......

Banana
Dresser
Grammar
Potato
Revive
Assess
Uneven



Are You Peeking Or Have You Already Given Up?


Give It Another Try....

You'll 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.



Did you figure it out? .....

Hi Lilla,

ah I went for the double vowel... and then the double consonant... and then the reading backwards...

and never quite got to the moving letters bit!

good one!

Hi Ash,

Yeah, me too… made it way complicated before I read the answer and thought of the obvious… of course, I’m telling myself it was because my time was limited, at the time. If I had lots of time to spare and therefore been in a calmer frame of mind, I’ve no doubts it would have come to me…*chuckling* that’s what I’m telling myself okay?

*lol*

Thanks for stopping by, is it still raining there?

My pleasure, I hope your weekend is special.

Lilla,

Didn't get it--but I did notice that every word on the list has at least one letter that appears a minimum of two times (with one appearing three times and one four times) and most of the words have two letters that appear multiple times.

Too analytical for my own good, I guess! (Or, to put it another way: Can't see the forest for the trees!)

Great brain teaser!

Hi Jeanne,

Not to worry, but I don't think it's a problem I also noticed those things...the double-letter thing in particular.. yep, made it way harder than it needed to be too...*chuckle* a lesson for us all..but atleast we girls tried, I noticed it was way too hard for all the boys on orble.. pity they seemed like such a bright bunch at first too..*lol*

Hi, Lilla!

Think I'll play it safe and not comment on that last remark! I do find, though, that so often, with these sorts of puzzles, I notice characteristics other than the ones the puzzles' creators are looking for! Oh well, in a sense, I suppose that's a good thing! At least no one can accuse me of not being observant!

you all look into it too much. it was easy, they all start with a capital letter....

Comment by D. Armenta

LMAO Jonathon!

First thing I saw was a repeating pattern: 3 syllables, 2 syllables, 2 syllables...

Hope that doesn't make me an axe-murderer or something.

Hi, again, Lilla!

Another thing I noticed is that, if it weren't for the word "grammar," all the words in your list would have six letters. Therefore, I suppose one might say: All the words in the list have at least six letters. (It's kind of fun to see how many [different?] similarities we can find, isn't it?)

Ha~ you are right Jeanne, I hadn't noticed that... now I'm wondering what other palindromes’ in the English language, could have this done to them by adding a letter?


...or, are these the only ones?

Comment by Jeanne Dininni

June 24th 2007 03:26
Good question, Lilla!

Don't think I'm ready right now to exercise my brain on that one! Just taking a short break from a writing assignment I'm in the midst of for a client and thought I'd take a quick look at my messages.

Thanks for your response to my comment!
Jeanne
