The secret agency Tycoon emailed a code to its agent 006. They are "RACECAR, MURDRUM, SAGAS, ATTACK, and REPAPER". Leaving one which is fake, all other words have something in common. Can you help in finding the fake word?

Here's my answer:

ATTACK isn't a palindrome, so that's the fake word.

Is it the one that doesn't begin and end with the same letters (not a palindrome)? Attack...
Credit: not me, I initially stopped reading too soon.

I think the answer is

ATTACK
The other words have the following in common which ATTACK does not:
- Palindromic
- Prime length
- Begin with a consonant
