Helen's Website
See if you can figure out what these six words have in common...

1. Banana
2. Dresser
3. Grammar
4. Revive
5. Uneven
6. Assess

.
.. No, it is not that they all have at least two double letters....

Answer:
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!

1. B > ananaB = Banana
2. D > resserD = Dresser
3. G > rammarG = Grammar
4. R > eviveR = Revive
5. U > nevenU = Uneven
6. A > ssessA = Assess

Good eh?
