In the spirit of the What is a Word™/Phrase™ series started by JLee, a special brand of Phrase™ and Word™ puzzles.
If a word conforms to a special rule, I call it a Scheming Word™.
Use the examples below to find the rule.
Scheming Words™ | Not Scheming Words™ |
---|---|
ALIENIST | NATURALIST |
AREAR | FORWARD |
CARVERY* | CHURRASCARIA |
CHASTER | CHASER |
FISHIEST | FRANKEST |
HARSHER* | GENTLER |
HEH* | MEH |
PEP* | POP |
RACECAR* | REVIVER |
REAR | FRONT |
SHAVEN | SHAGGY |
TEAT | BOSOM |
YEATSIAN | KEYNESIAN |
* These are Naturally Scheming Words™
And, if you want to analyze, here is a CSV version:
Scheming Words™,Not Scheming Words™
ALIENIST,NATURALIST

CARVERY*,CHURRASCARIA
CHASTER,CHASER
FISHIEST,FRANKEST

HEH*,MEH
PEP*,POP
RACECAR*,REVIVER
REAR,FRONT
SHAVEN,SHAGGY
