If you drop the first letter, the remaining letters are symmetrical around an interior letter
If you drop the first letter then the remaining letters are the same whether you read them forward or backward. I win, I want my lollipop.
they all have 2 sets of 2 of the same letters in the word.
Groups of repeating letters, not including the primary letters, centralized around either a single letter or a pair in the middle of the word.
One could also describe the pattern as — besides the initial letter — 5 letter palindromes.
They would all be palindromes if their first letter were dropped.
Second letter and last letter always the same
two sets of two of the same letters (explanatory skills down the drain.. XDDD)
Banana -> n and a
Dresser -> r and s (or s and e, or r and e)
Grammar -> r and a (or m and a, or r and m)
Potato -> o and t
Revive -> e and v
Uneven -> n and e
Voodoo -> o and o
Two pairs of doubled letters each. The pairings are symmetric either about another letter or about their own centers. Not sure if there is anything else.
I don’t know if the 2nd Comment is the same as to what I’m going to say, but ohwell - Dropping the first letter and putting it on the end…then the word is the same backwards as it was forwards (before dropping the letter)
Each word has a pair of identical letters
In all of the words listed, if you take the first letter,
place it at the end of the word, and then spell the
word backwards, it will be the same word.
TAKE THE FIRST LETTER PUT IT AT THE END. THEN YOU SPELL THE WORD BACKWARDS
