They are all palindrome's.... or almost. If you move the first letter of each word to the end of the word they become one.

Yes.....and so soon!!!

In all of the words listed, if you take the first
letter, place it at the end of the word, and then
spell the word backwards, it will be the same word.

He got he moving letter thing right, but that isn't what a palindrome is. Palindromes read the same forward and backwards without moving any letters (Kayak, Civic, you get the idea...)
