List 2: oar, triple, though, dye
List 1: rode, earth, heart, lump
List 2: oar, triple, though, dye

The words that must be swapped are "heart" and "oar".The property is that each word can have a letter from one end of the word added to the other end and a new word will be formed. "List 1" words must have the last letter added to the beginning of the word, while "list 2" words must have the first letter added to the end of the word.
List 1: (e)rode, (h)earth, (r)oar, (p)lump
