What is unusual about the following words: revive, banana, grammar, voodoo, assess, potato, dresser, uneven?
Remove the first letter of each word and they are the same backwards.
Why this works
This riddle plays with the concept of palindromes, which are words or phrases that read the same forwards and backwards. By removing the first letter from each word given—revive (evive), banana (anana), grammar (rammar), voodoo (oodoo), assess (ssess), potato (otato), dresser (resser), and uneven (neven)—you find that the remaining letters form palindromes. This clever twist makes you rethink the words and their structure, revealing the hidden pattern!
