A word puzzle for you

[Boogity]

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

Give up? Look at each word carefully. No, it is not that they all have at least 2 double letters. And yeah we know they all have 6 letters.

If you move the first letter to the back of these words they spell the same word backwards.

 

[abifae]

After you remove the first letter they are the same forward and back. I am glad I am on nook cuz didnt see other replies yet lol.

abifae, what is nook?

Abi's answer is correct, too. A different perspective, but also true. One thing I appreciate about talking with Abi is that she sees things in a different way. Her perspective challenges me to think about my assumptions on what "correct" means....

 

[sunsaver]

I agree. Abi has a unique perspective, and her answer was equally correct. In math, there is often only one correct answer. But in real life there are often multiple correct answers. I used to get in trouble in school for being correct, but not"right".
