Only for very clever Fisoers
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
Question 2. What if this was the only question on the exam to pass high school English and earn your Diploma. Would you graduate?
What nine letter word in the English language still makes a word when eight letters are removed one by one?

Re: Only for very clever Fisoers
they all make the same word if you move the first letter of each to the end then read from righ to left

My answer was all the words' 2nd and last letters are the same. Kinda right but not on the money.
