Brain Teaser

See if you can figure out what these words have in common:
1 Banana
2 Dresser
3 Grammar
4 Potato
5 Revive
6 Uneven
7 Assess

No peeking at the answer below. Have you already given up? Give it another try. Look at each word carefully. (You'll kick yourself when you discover the answer.) Scroll down for the answer.













Answer: No, it is not that they all have at least 2 double letters. 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. How do you feel now?

I feel totally dyslexic. Which reminds me of another brain teaser. Did you hear about the dyslexic, agnostic, insomniac? He laid awake at night wondering if there is a dog.
