Aha....

If you chop off the first letter, they all become palindromes.

How about this . . .

The 2nd letter and the final letter are the same in each word.

Since it is a palindrome without the first letter, you could stick the first letter onto the back-end of the word and read it backwards

Re: What do these words have in common
Hi Bob
Good try but Rudi is right if you take the first letter from each word and put it at the end it becomes a palindrome of the original word (or more correctly it reads the same backwards as it did forwards)
Here you go Rudi
