Answer 2

An applause for Ian Hill. This was not easy by any means.

Well done Ian.

Muchas gracias señor - ian-hill, Apr 5, 2010

Hats off to Ian Hill. What was the other 1%, Eddy? - 00d7cd75, Apr 5, 2010

Ian had the palindrome by remoing the first letter, but imitially he didn't put it at the end of the word to form the same word backwards. - Eddy, Apr 6, 2010

Answer 3

How about this: Take off the first letter of each word, and the remaining letters read the same way forwards and backwards.

According to post 4 and 5, it is only 90% correct and they want more guesses. - sanlee, Apr 5, 2010

Is that OK, or should I take remove this (I'm not sure I know how to do that). - sanlee, Apr 5, 2010

Answer 4

The second letter in each word is the same as the last letter.

Answer 5

Wow Ian, I am impressed, however, you are only 99% correct. You just need to put the last piece to the jigsaw.

No idea what Eddy :) - ian-hill, Apr 5, 2010

No correct answer to date. Come on, just have a guess.
