Why are these words suspicious?
Detective Jezerezeh has found a table of suspicious words:
list
teeth
actions
grammar
saying
information
engage
ballad
terror
What's so suspicious about them?
Hint 1:
I will either add more words or more hints if this isn't solved soon.

It would be much appreciated, if you could wait about 24h before adding hints, we have people in many time zones, so it would be nice if everyone got an equal chance.

@Bass "Soon" is relative. 1 billion years could be soon in the grand scheme of things given the timescale of the universe. Oddly enough, I was going to say 24 hours, but decided against giving an exact time because I might forget to get back on this website anywhere around this time tomorrow.

@Displayname if more than one rule works (see El-Guest 's answer), the question may be too broad. I recommend you to add more "suspicious words" to narrow down the possibilities. Or are these the only possibilities? Thanks!

No, but this deserves an upvote because it's quite a coincidence that this works.

Could you add a word which doesn’t match my pattern, @Displayname ? None of the words do that so far.

Preliminary guess
Three of them are near-palindromes: teet(h), (g)rammar, e(n)gage.
Also (and this was my hint),
(J)ezereze(h). And -- a bit more of a stretch -- su(sp)ici(o)us itself.
But that doesn't explain
list, actions, saying, information. They seem to be ... speech-related ???
[OP added words while I was writing this]:
(b)alla(d), which fits. Terror... uhm. :-)

It would be much appreciated, if you could wait about 24h before adding hints, we have people in many time zones, so it would be nice if everyone got an equal chance.
