Plz if you already received this puzzle in an e mail which included the answer, do not post the answer, let others truly try find the answer by themselves.

ALL MY INTELLIGENT FRIENDS:

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

Look at each word carefully. You'll kick yourself when you discover the answer. This is so cool..... No, it is not that they all have at least 2 double letters....

Let me know if you find the answer - I didn't. But now I know it.

They are all a single letter followed by a palindrome. Take the first letter and put it on the end of the word. Then spell backwards :)

brynjulf,

swear you don't know the answer beforehand, you did not receive this puzzle before !!

Some others:

live evil
eye
radar
level
madam

I like these as well

"let's eat grandma" vs. "let's eat, grandma"
"When hunting, lions hide in the bushes." vs. "When hunting lions, hide in the bushes."
"A panda walked into the restaurant, ordered a meal. When he was finished he took out a gun and shot up the place, then left. Later, the restaurant owner asked the panda why he did that, the panda pointed to the menu where is said a panda eats, shoots, and leaves."

Play on WORDS>>.love it..

All in where the comma ends up..

I got chewed out last month on the word    "resent"

I wrote   I   resent it...
Meaning I   re sent the email...the person thought I resent   them.....

which was an assumption.
\When the writer wrote me I left the price off of the last email on tools selling.....I certainly meant "IT" as the email.....
My mother always told me to say the word (like email) and do not call things (IT) she was correct.

Ah, very cool! I never would have gotten it without cheating I don't think. Very good, I'll have to try that on my ever competitive fam damily.

Thanks Ibrahim!

If you were to spell out numbers, how high you have to go until you would find the letter 'A'?
