Brain Teasers
Triple Pair
I have come up with two words in the English language that contain a pair each of three different letters. One has eight letters and one has seven letters. One is a palindrome, one is not.
Can you discover these same words?
As an example is 'tutu' which contains a pair each of two different letters:
2 t's
2 u's

Hint
The palindrome word would be handy if you are into going fast.The other one is about looking upon someone in a bit of an inferior way, putting them down.
Answer
8 letters = Belittle2 e's
2 l's
2 t's
7 letters = Racecar
2 r's
2 a's
2 c's
There may be others. Please feel free to mention them if you find any.

murdered
Hehe... now you're just showing off. It appears the concept in this teaser has been murdered and fair enough too. What was I thinking
Bookkeeper, Radar, Vacuum, Quque, Firefighter, George, Garage,and Madam are some. There is plenty more.
A pair each of THREE different letters.
your correct, but Bookkeeper and Firefighter still have 3 set of different letters.
Yes well done
bookkeeper is unique in that all three pairs of letters are all next to each other, i.e. the o's are adjacent, the k's are adjacent, adn the e's are adjacent. i always found that fascinating
