    Word puzzle

    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'll post the answer later

    Ricky and Terpe, you are probably right, it's not that difficult when you know the answer, but I'll leave it a bit longer to see if anyone comes up with an interesting answer

    Only a guess but is it that the letters after the first letter one spell the same forwards and backwards?

    Got it. If you take the first letter and put it on the end it will spell the same forwards as it does backwards. So Banana = anana(B). Is that it? Theres a name for them isn't there?

    Thats been bugging me all evening

    Well done Stu

    You got there eventually. It's easy when you know how, but it took me a while to get it at first too
