A palindrome is a word or phrase that is spelled the same way backwards and forwards -- you get the same exact word or words. There are millions of palindromes in the world and here are a few!

Let's start with easy ones that anyone can figure out. Try spelling all of these backwards!

mom
dad
racecar
dump mud
dumb mud
noon

And on to harder ones!

Dr. Awkward
Bell: a clang is a signal-call, Eb
A man, a plan, a canal: Panama.
Must sell at tallest sum.
Oh, who was it I saw? Oh, who?
Panic in a Titanic; I nap.
Too bad, I hid a boot.
Was it a car or a cat I saw?
He stops spots, eh.
He won a Toyota now, eh?
No lemons, no melon

Palindromes can be as hugely long, or as short as three letters.

If you want to tell me some other palindromes feel free to y-mail me!

Thanks,
