What do the following words have in common? “Deft,” as in he made a deft move. “First,” he came in first. “Calmness,” he was overcome by calmness. “Canopy,” a canopy covered the boat so he wouldn’t get wet. “Laughing,” it was no laughing matter. “Stupid,” needs no further explanation. “Crab cake,” as in, “My brother made me crab cakes for dinner, and I ate a bottle of antacid when I got home.” And “hijack,” I was hoping that our flight would not be hijacked to Bora Bora. All these words have one very specific thing in common. Can you tell the RiddleDude what it is?
