Another Literacy Challenge - from Mrs. McCartney
Literacy Challenge May 28th, 2008Word Puzzle
Mrs McCartney sent me this very cool word puzzle for our very smart technokids. It is tricky, but there is a logical answer. See if you can figure out what these words have in common. When you have done it, post your reply in the comments. Good luck. I will post the answer next week.
1 Banana
2 Dresser
3 Grammar
4 Potato
5 Revive
6 Uneven
7 Assess

I think that they all the letters except the first can be spelt backwards and still be the same eg Grammar -gRAMMAR- it can be spelt backwards and forwards!!!!!
May 29th, 2008 at 9:15 pm
i rethought my answer. the words can be spelt backwords and forwords.
May 29th, 2008 at 9:16 pm
Hey Ms M, I just realised that I got it wrong, well not wrong but Tzigane’s answer does make more sense! Except the first letter they can all be spelt backwards and forwards.
May 29th, 2008 at 9:18 pm
If you take away the first letter of every word the word can be spelt backwards eg. Normal p_Otato, backwards Otato.

Great try technokids, but actually, nobody got it completely correct. Spacemonkey was the closest. If you take the first letter of each word and put it at the end of the word, it reads to same backwards as it did forwards. Thanks Mrs. McCartney for this tricky little puzzle.
