Take a 7-letter word. Remove the first 2 letters. Reverse the last 2 letters. Then, add SE at the end to get a synonym of the original word. What is it?
LACONIC - LA --> CONIC --> CONCI --> CONCI +(SE) --> CONCISE
Consequently, LACONIC and CONCISE are the two words with the desired property.
Merriam Webster Thesaurus confirms that LACONIC and CONCISE are indeed synonyms of each other.
