| cool! at first I was thinking, okay, something to do with consonants v. vowels...but then I looked at voodoo backward and ding! the light came on. Great teaser! :D |
|

| cool teaser! didn't get it at first but then i saw grammar and i was like "wait if you put the first letter in the back you get the same thing" and it worked with all the other ones. really awesome teaser! keep em' coming! 8) |
|
| Posted by GebbieRose | 08/27/06 |
| Simple but clever. Good job! :D |
|
| Posted by penguinboy | 08/27/06 |
| i was thinking that each of the words had at least two of one letter like voodoo has at least 2 o's and gramma had at least 2 a's and m's |
|

| Interesting and fun to workout. 8) |

| Posted by Badger | 08/27/06 |
| Darn! Never saw it coming! Had lots of ideas about symetry, etc. but none of them right. Excellent work! Thanks!
PS: They still show the clip on TV where Dan Quail "corrects" the kid at the school spelling bee because she forgot the "e" in potato. :oops: :lol: (0) |

| Posted by Pizzazz2u | 08/27/06 |
| One can always get themselves to enjoy a different challenge. And this has a double to it, very good for a Braingle teaser. :P A slight bit of a tickle, but I enjoyed it, immensely. :wink: |
|
| Posted by jabdr | 08/27/06 |
| I knew it immediately. Perhaps it was entered in a different teaser category in July and I saw it while browsing. Enjoyed it then, and enjoy it now. 8) :) |

|
| Posted by Trishgal | 08/27/06 |

|
| Posted by bradon182001 | 08/27/06 |
| This is one of the best teasers I've seen. I didn't get it by the way, was trying to work something out with vowels. Great job. This definitely will go into my favorites. :o |
|
| Posted by mi2mo2tx | 08/27/06 |
| Clever!! I don't think I'd ever have noticed that... nice one! |
|
| Posted by blondebookworm | 08/27/06 |
| :D that was SO much fun! I totally loved your teaser. it was pretty easy to get, ( I knew the answer by the second word) but still really clever. good job. :wink: |
|
| Posted by POPS | 08/27/06 |
| I thought it was two sets of the same letters in each word untill I saw Voodoo then I gave up :oops:Close but no cigar :lol: Loved it, good job :wink: Goes in my watch list. |
|

| I am a hint junkie!!! :oops: :oops: :oops: This hint did not help me...oh well..great teaser! :D |
|
| Posted by lmurray | 08/27/06 |
| HEN HAO! VERY GOOD :) |
|
| Posted by josty | 08/27/06 |
| they all also have 2 pairs of the same letter |
|
| Posted by heyman | 08/27/06 |
| These are the most frustrating. Because I sit there trying to figure out the issue KNOWING it is something like "take the first letter and put at the end and when you read backwards, it is the same word!" :evil:
Okay, I'm feeling better now! :D |
|
| Posted by MurfQ | 08/28/06 |
| Very nice. Only thing I would have liked to see though was that the hint really should have been part of the instructions so people like me wouldn't look at it and immediately dismiss it as just being multiple pairs of double letters and too obvious for anything.
It doesn't help of course when you get them via the daily email where the hints aren't available till you click the link for the answer, but that's a site annoyance and has nothing to do with your cool teaser :D |
|
| Posted by RRAMMOHAN | 08/29/06 |
| A great teaser! Didnt get it! :cry:
Could only get so far as to note that each word had two letters in doubles. Definitely one of my favourites! Thanks for the selection! :lol: |
|
| Posted by ava199345 | 08/29/06 |
| this is another "Ohhh...I get it(now)" teaser |
|
| Posted by Qrystal | 08/30/06 |
| hm. I like my answer better:
take off the first letter, and the rest is a palindrome. I guess it's all the same in the end... since "reading backwards" is pretty much how palindrome is defined. |
|

| Man... good teaser, though this idea is not original.

(It didn't let me use words longer than 50 characters, so I had to break up that end bit.) |

| Don't be so negative. This was a good teaser. |

|

| Or... you could just call it a palindrome. |
|
| Posted by doehead | 08/28/09 |
| This has been in many publications, but it's interesting if you've never seen it. :P :P :P |
|
| Posted by crazy10man | 08/28/09 |
| I've never seen it, and I thought it was very clever. Loved it!
That's the trouble with life nowadays; everything's been around before in one form or another. |
|
| Posted by tova_l | 08/28/09 |
| Great teaserr! I got it right away! There's been something like this going around in email too, so that helped a bit. Going in my favorites right away! :lol: :lol: |
|
| Posted by auntiesis | 08/28/09 |
| I thought it was repeated letters as some others did. I never noticed the hint. Good one, actually one of my faves. :D :D |
|
| Posted by patiencewithaP | 08/28/09 |
| Great teaser! :D |
|
| Posted by craniac | 08/28/09 |
| way cool! |
|
| Posted by racoonieboy | 08/13/10 |
| I would've answered that the letters after the first one are palindromes. But that works as well. |
|
| Posted by Babe | 08/29/12 |
| Devilbunny is correct. When I went to school it was potatoe and tomatoe, but somewhere along the line it was changed and argued about for some time, but originally it was with an E. nice teaser all the same. :) |
|
| Posted by gaylewolf | 08/29/12 |
| Babe, I'm curious about where you went to school. The only time I've seen potato and tomato spelled with an "e" is when the words are made plural. Good puzzle! :wink: :) |
|
| Posted by cutebug | 08/29/12 |
| Babe, I'm with Gayle on this one. Your spelling teacher must flunked spelling. :roll: :roll: |
|
| Posted by HABS2933 | 08/29/12 |
| I've never seen it with an "e" either, but then maybe it was changed before I got to school. OR perhaps babe and Quayle had the same spelling teacher.
I think the original comment about the "e" was in reference to that (if you look at the date of it). |
|
| Posted by dsjt | 08/29/12 |
| My guess was:
If you remove the first letter from each word, they are all palindromes. |
|
| Posted by asupmdr | 08/29/12 |
| A simpler answer is that each word has two each of two letters. Terilynne88's answer is much more elegant. |
|
| Posted by thedavincigame | 08/29/12 |
| I loved this teaser so much I decided to write a sentence using the same format:
Willi Greer at a belle gala too ?
(Referring to William Greer, JFK's driver)

|
| Posted by here2 | 08/29/12 |
| Might have been interesting to add a word that didn't have two sets of repeat letters. Perhaps "To" or "go" (or any other two letter word). Or even a four letter one like "Data" or "Fete" or "Mete". |
|
| Posted by eamon | 08/29/12 |
| I didn't bother with the hint so I just got words with at least two pairs of repeated letters.
As an aside, I can't believe how often the Dan Quayle "spellinge lessone" keeps popping up in these things. |
