Took me a minute. Cute.

kristie911 · Sep 6, 2008

I got it! I got it!

But then again, I've seen it before.

Susie · Sep 6, 2008

I know, but I looked it up on google.

I got it! Took me a minute but once you see it, it's glaringly obvious.
And I *think* I just did my first rep point thingie and sent rugcat the answer.

I know what it is, but can't remember what they're called. Mind you these words are almost them...they're each missing one letter that would make them it. Confused yet?

Yeshanu · Sep 6, 2008

Hmm. Does Kitrianna do them one better, and would Anna fit in that list?

StoryG27 · Sep 6, 2008

I'm not going to admit how long it took me, but I had to stare at it for quite a while and I think I FINALLY got it.

ErylRavenwell · Sep 6, 2008

Another one.

What do these four words have in common?

Thanes
Solo
Parsi
More

OK folks, here it is.

A whole bunch of you saw that if you dropped the first letter, what remains is a palindrome -- it reads the same forward and backward.

But almost no one took it one step further -- if you take off the first letter and put it on the end of the word, you then have the identical word spelled backward.

Now that's self evident, but I can't give full credit to those who failed to specifically mention that -- that's really the neat thing about it.

~~(B)~~ anana (B)

~~(U)~~ neven (U)

If it makes anyone feel better, I didn't get it either.
