    I know! I know! Take the first letter V-B-D etc and toss it to the end and it becomes a palindrome. Is an almost palindrome an alindrome?

    All the words have got a pair of letters in one order and then with the order reversed

    BANANA -- AN and NA
    VOODOO -- OO and OO
    GRAMMAR --AM and MA

    ...and so on
