They all two consonants that are the same and two vowels ?

Two letters the same inside two letters the same.

1. two 'n's inside two 'a's
2. two 'e's inside two 'r's
3. two 'a's inside two 'r's
etc.

Does that make sense to anyone? :o

Duh, I get it, if you take the first letter and put it at the end it spells the same as the original word backwards, they are almost palindromes

Tricky :)

Gee that was quick Andrea.
I was going to say they all had a number in front of them. So I guess we're both right. :)
:scrtch: kiwi's right as well!

Kiwi got it. Move the first letter to the end and they spell the same word, backwards. Who said New Zealanders were not that bright? :D
