The three answers were Urea. Sponge and Polka .. you'll never guess what they all have in common !
Here's a picture of Conway Castle as a "spacer" so that you can think about it without seeing the answer... I was up on those towers a few days ago...

Well, it's obvious what I'm going to say next ... what about some Welsh words where you get the same thing happening ?
But first, let's do an easier version ... where the letters are in "normal" alphabetical sequence, not the reversed version ... like hir .... llw .... mwy .. glo ... ..
2 letters ... means "lower"
3 letters ... means "a choir"
4 letters ..... means " a wing"
5 letters ..... means "carts"
Now you've got the idea, let's do some "reverse "ones ...
2 letters ..... means "roof"
3 letters ...... an ancient quickly-spreading disease.
3 letters ..... the title of R S Thomas's autobiography
4 letters .... when used before nouns, means "only"
4 letters .... something to relax on.
4 letters ..... to turn
4 letters ...... adjective meaning "wet" for female nouns
4 letters ..... means " consuming"
OK ... so now, find some of your own. Go on, you know you want to!
Meantime, you'll never guess why I chose this ... it's Yws Gwynedd .. "Neb ar ol " ... but it's a smashing song as well ....
