Our first sub-category of DOUBLETAKE HUMOR, HITS & MISSES is a SINGLE.
SINGLE words played in this area are very simple.
A SINGLE is any word that spells a different word when read in either direction.
Examples of the swinging Singles are:
SINGLES |
devil |

HITS CLASSIFICATION THEME / SCHEME / DEFINITION |
|
SINGLE: any word that spells a different word when read in either direction.
|
|
REVERSE: a word or expression that spells the same thing forward as it does backwards. |
|
DOUBLES: the same as a Single, (in that it spells another word backwards) but in addition, the meanings of the two words are connected in some way. |
|
DOUBLE REVERSE: occurs whenever a word spells a different word when read backwords and the two words mean the opposite of each other. |
|
TRIPLE: occurs when a word's spelling and meaning remain the same when reversed. In addition, any word that may have been in one of our other HITS may also be included. |
|
TRIPLE REVERSE: occurs when a word or phrase can be read in more than one way or from more than a just one point in space. The basic TRIPLE REVERSE is a 180° rotation," mean"ing (pun intended) that it reads the same upside down and right side up. |

SPECIAL NOTE: DT USES SOME SPORTS NAMES TO CATEGORIZE SOME TYPES OF DOUBLETAKE™ HUMOR, BUT NO GREAT KNOWLEDGE OF SPORTS IS REALLY NEEDED TO UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPTS. NO SPORTS FIGURES WERE HARMED IN THE MAKING OF THIS WEBSITE. |
