BACK-WORDS (Listening)

ANSWERS ON PAGE 155

This puzzle exercises your ability to notice and imagine the sounds in speech.

The Speech Dissector exhibit at the Exploratorium science museum in San Francisco lets visitors experiment with recordings of their voices. A particularly interesting game is to record a word and play the recording backward. The results are often surprising. The word we (oo-ee), for example, backward becomes you (ee-oo). If you play each of the words below backward, what other word does it become? Can you find other backward word pairs?

A. no F. spin

B. yaw G. weak

C. yes H. shall

D. lane I. funny

E. view J. ominous
