Wordy puzzle

[Ben Wilson]

What unique feature do the following words have in common: DONE, HEAL, AIRMAN, RAKING, FOPPIEST, SPEAKING, INCINERATE.

No clues. Have fun.

[Michael Wallace]

What unique feature...

A 'like' button?

[Jon Corby]

When you say "unique feature", do you mean that this is a fully exhaustive list of words with this feature?

[Ben Wilson]

When you say "unique feature", do you mean that this is a fully exhaustive list of words with this feature?

No, just the ones I could be arsed to find. Maybe I worded it badly, I'm blaming the copious amounts of cold medication I inhaled today. It is a definite characteristic these words all share and given how long it took me to work out that short list odds are you won't just stumble across another one at random with the same characteristic.

[Kirk Bevins]

They all have an even number of letters....I wonder if this is a coincidence or part of the answer.

[Charlie Reams]

Some more observations for others to play with:-

It does seem odd (narf) that they all have an even number of letters, although you can't dismiss a coincidence. Maybe something with pairs of letters?

None of them contain a U, although again that might be attributable to coincidence.

INCINERATE + H = INHERITANCE (probably no significance, but cute).

FOPPIEST is not valid in ODE or CSW so I wonder if there's some significance to that.

[David O'Donnell]

What unique feature do the following words have in common: DONE, HEAL, AIRMAN, RAKING, FOPPIEST, SPEAKING, INCINERATE.

No clues. Have fun.

I only checked the first two but found a pattern.

If you split them down the middle, and ascribe a value to the letter (1-26 for A-Z), are they the same? I have only checked the first two:

DONE
D=4 O= 15 Total=19
N=14 E=5 Total= 19

HEAL
H=8 E=5 Total 13
A=1 L=12 Total 13

DONE
D=4 O= 15 Total=19
N=14 E=5 Total= 19

HEAL

It seems to work for the others too:

AIRMAN
A=1 I=9 R=18 Total=28
M=13 A=1 N=14 Total=28

RAKING
R=18 A=1 K=11 Total=30
I=9 N=14 G=7 Total=30

FOPPIEST
F=6 O=15 P=16 P=16 Total=53
I=9 E=5 S=19 T=20 Total=53

SPEAKING
S=19 P=16 E=5 A=1 Total=41
K=11 I=9 N=14 G=7 Total=41

INCINERATE
I=9 N=14 C=3 I=9 N=14 Total=49
E=5 R=18 A=1 T=20 E=5 Total=49

Well done, David. (Assuming it's the correct answer.)

[Jon Corby]

I got that.

[David O'Donnell]

I got that.

Have you been away Jon? the standard has really been downhill these last few days.

[Jon Corby]

I got that.

Have you been away Jon? the standard has really been downhill these last few days.

Yeah, Cyprus for a week.

As you can see though, I'm back.

[David O'Donnell]

I got that.

Have you been away Jon? the standard has really been downhill these last few days.

Yeah, Cyprus for a week.

As you can see though, I'm back.

Ah nice one! ... That you had a holiday not that you fucking came back.

(Though that's nice too).

Spot on. Beginning to wish I hadn't bothered now.

[David O'Donnell]

Yeah, don't blame you. Maybe don't make it piss easy next time.

[Charlie Reams]

Any double-word like MUUMUU or MATAMATA would presumably do the trick.

[Ben Wilson]

Any double-word like MUUMUU or MATAMATA would presumably do the trick.

As would every single even-numbered palindrome, hence why there weren't any in the puzzle.

What unique feature do the following words have in common: DONE, HEAL, AIRMAN, RAKING, FOPPIEST, SPEAKING, INCINERATE.

No clues. Have fun.

Each word has at least one letter from the previous word in the list
