TO ALL MY INTELLIGENT FRIENDS:

I am sending this only to my smart friends. I could not figure it out and had to look at the answer. 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

Look at each word carefully. You'll kick yourself when you discover the answer.

Answers on a postcard to ..... blah blah blah

looks to me like each word contains at least two sets of letters that are repeated.

Not that obvious - major intelligence is required.

In each case, if you take the first letter and put it at the end of the word, the original word is spelled, but backwards. A sort of Palindrome
