WHAT ARE THE SIMULARITIES BETWEEN ALL THESE WORDS
Hi greg1....I know answer
its to do with being able to spell the word backwards, after moving the first letter to the end.
ssessA
ananaB
otatoP
rammarG
resserD
of course, it helps if you spell GRAMMAR right.
welcome, greg!
some of us are getting old, but there's no need to shout!
On a (slightly) related point...words spelled backwords and forwards making the same word are palindromes...my favourite of which is:
The Latin word square "Sator Arepo Tenet Opera Rotas" (The farmer/sower, Arepo, sows the seeds)
It's remarkable for the fact that it reproduces itself if you form a word from the first letters, then the second letters etc. This means it can be arranged into a word square that reads in four different ways: horizontally and vertically from either top left to bottom right or bottom right to top left.
S A T O R
A R E P O
T E N E T
O P E R A
R O T A S
I'm not sure what the type that you used was but...I'll search for it!

stick to bexter....I like that.
Ogo Pogo sounds like a sinister witches chant
I GO POGO was an election slogan back in the '50s.
Based somewhat on the comic strip, if I remember correctly.
Or am I thinking of something else?
How well I remember. Loved Pogo.
But back to our drive-by poster's question:
I know Grammer and Dresser are actors, probably better known for their TV work than anything else, but the rest don't fit that category as far as I know.

But didn't Bexter answered back on the other page?
They are examples of palindromes.
racecar is another.

I was generously assuming that GRAMMER wasn't a misspelling of
grammar.
