Take the first letter of each word and put it at the back, read the word backwords and it reads the same


Hope you enjoyed it.

I would have expressed it a little differently, but yes, drop the first letter and each is a palindrome.

Not quite Birdy, you have to move the 1st letter to the back to get a sort of palindrome

I thought it was a trick puzzle at first, because a list of words can't have anything "in common" except with another list or lists. A better way of of putting it would have been 'what do the words in the list below have in common?"

Hi Gareth,

I’ve been meaning to thank you for providing us with something to stimulate the brain. We oldies need all of that we can get.

Thank you Jack.
When I did it I thought it was a bit of a challenge till the proverbial penny dropped.
It was almost as difficult as some of your sign off to penny  ;D

Right - I just wasn't thinking of the meanings of the words.
