i GOT SENT THIS BY A FRIEND A MINUTE AGO, REALLY GETS THE GREY MATTER GOING, GO ON GIVE IT A GO
I am only sending this to my smart friends . ( I didn't get
it either)
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'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?
Even if you didn't don't worry just send it to more people and
stump them then you'll feel better
I am sorry its taking me a wee while to get round to reading and rating but I will do , xx

That is very clever and a real brain teaser. My guess was much more simplistic: all the words have two sets of double letters (although not all of them are together).

No, I couldn´t figure it out. I thought it would be something metaphoric, so I was trying to work out the relation each word had with the other.
I didn´t cheat though, only looked at the answer when I saw that I was too dumb to find the solution. And there´s me thinking I was smart, lol.
Nice post, dear. It gets the grey matters going a bit.

I think I should have gotten some sleep before I attempted that one. My blondness really shined through, cuz I didn't get it until I read the answer. I think I will send this out in the email....maybe some of my family won't be able to figure it out either. LOL

That is awesome...I am usually very good with these kinds of puzzles..of course it maybe the 13 hour days at work..but I really like this one. I saw all kinds of patterns but not even close to this one.
Thanks for finally showing us something different.

I couldn't figure this out for nothing either. I thought it may have been more than one of the same letter in each word or something like that. I was amazed when I finally scrolled all the way down and seen the answer to it. I would have never figured that out, more than likely. I am glad you told us the answer though or I would still be looking at it and trying to figure it out.

This is really great. I didn't get it, but when I read the answer, it was sooooooo obvious. I should've taken more time with it, but my daughter was looking at it too, and wanted to know the answer right away.
