RAEG

This one is even easier, you just have to be a bit imaginative:

i.e. if you read backwards, you'll get the word GEAR.

I was thinking along the lines of "separate the wheat from the chaff" but that doesn't work either!

Too complicated for me. For my other one, think anagrams.

You only want one word?
Otherwise I would have gone for two under par. (Golfing term)
