Now I haven't really updated this list in almost a year, although I've received a few hundred email messages with additions and praise. And now there are several other palindrome sites, so I've decided to stop maintaining my list. If you still want to see it, it does still have a lot of palindromes. So here it is. You may be interested in these links: And some books of palindromes: Also, if you enjoy wordplay, check out the

Add to Favorites STOP ANNOYING POP-UPS with the FREE Alexa Toolbar (installs in seconds) The word palindrome is derived from the Greek palíndromos, meaning running back again ( palín = AGAIN + = RUN). A palindrome is a word or phrase which reads the same in both directions. Some simple examples are: RACECAR DEED LEVEL PIP ROTOR CIVIC POP MADAM EYE NUN RADAR TOOT Words like LIVE and STRAW (which read EVIL and WARTS backwards) are not themselves palindromes but the "phrases" LIVE EVIL and STRAW WARTS are. A palindrome is not necessarily a single word. The longest single English word in common usage which is a palindrome is REDIVIDER , although the contrived chemical term DETARTRATED is two letters longer. In Finnish there is a 25-letter palindromic word: SOLUTOMAATTIMITTAAMOTULOS which means the result from a measurement laboratory for tomatoes, although technically it is a compound of four words. There is also the equally long SAIPPUAKUPPINIPPUKAUPPIAS which means soap cup trader.

Extractions: Eric Siegel , Columbia University Automatically Created Palindromes Palindromes are spelled the same both forwards and backwards. There are many great palindromes, and many collections of them exists just search for "palindrome" on any web search engine. However, the palindromes below are entirely original. Furthermore, most of them, as indicated, were created with the AI Palindrome Discovery System (a homework project ( including Java code ) for exploring search strategies in our Artificial Intelligence course). To my knowledge, this is the first automatic creation of palindromes. Read more about the project in our published cs education paper Also, you are urged to check out this animated palindrome New: Moreover, check out this other animated palindrome applet, by Michael Birken. It shows the same palindrome in a cool circular 2D animation that would only be possible for a palindrome. Symmetric "Kargo" , by Michael Birken. You cannot argue that this does not say Kargo. You cannot argue that this is not symmetric (looks the same in a mirror). 'Course, it is not a palindrome, but Michael was thinking a lot about palindromes when he made it, and he works at Kargo with me. Automatically created palindromes.

Extractions: Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach Palindromes (Part 1) Madam I'm Adam... The word 'PALINDROME' comes from the Greek word palindromos , which means 'running back again'. A palindrome is any word, line or even complete poem which reads the same backwards as it does forwards. 'Madam, I'm Adam' is one of the best known palindromes but Eden's Adam never uttered it to his palindromic Eve (I have this from a very reliable source). Nonetheless, this form of wordplay is ancient. The epigrams of Nicodemus of Hereclea (300 BC?) and other ancient Greek writings contain palindromes. SOTADICS is another name for palindromes, after Sotades, a poet of this period who employed them frequently in his satirical poetry. Early ones reverse words...

Extractions: I've been fascinated with palindromes ever since I was a kid and my dad gave me a book entitled Palindromes and Anagrams by Howard W. Bergerson. Most of the palindromes in these lists are in that book. In addition to my own discoveries , I have managed to write two palindromic poems ( one has palindromic lines, and the other is a word unit palindrome). The following lists contain some of my favorite palindromes. John PS - Palindrome comes from the Greek words "palin" (again or back) and "dramein" (to run). So if you read that backwards, it translates loosely into "to run back." But ya gotta read it backwards, ya know. Legend:
Palindromes History + Forward And Backward Word Fun By Brownielocks
palindromes are words, sentences or poems that are the same whether read backwardsor forwards LETTER by LETTER.
http://www.brownielocks.com/palindromes.html

Extractions: If you never heard of one until now, don't feel bad. Palindromes aren't as common as anagrams (see our page on those) and there is not really a lot of historical information about them. My guess is that literacy was only among the wealthy, aristocrats or religious people in the past. And, IMHO palindromes are much more challenging intellectually than anagrams are. So they seem to be a secret among the old scholars of the past on their origins. Only samples remain, many of which have authors who use pen names. Perhaps it was an embarrassment to be able to compose foolish verse? Palindromes are done in several languages, with French being the assumed language of origin since it was for the anagram as well.

Extractions: The dream which occupies the tortuous mind of every palindromist is that somewhere within the confines of the language lurks the Great Palindrome, a nutshell which not only fulfils the intricate demands of the art, flowing sweetly in both directions, but which also contains the Final Truth of Things. Alistair Reid Palindromania is not a disorder but, rather, an evolutionary, passionate effort to cobble letters into order and truth. I say "evolutionary" because I believe that in our species is evolving a heightened wonderment at and facility with the universe of letters. We are getting better at making the alphabet dance. Richard Lederer, The Vocabula Review , January 2002, Vol. 4, No. 1 They're very hard to write. My only major effort in this field is the following 306-word masterpiece, Dog Sees Ada , composed in 1991. You may expect a grander effort, to be titled Seid Ada (German for "To Be Ada") in 2002. I have a rough idea for the plot of Seid Ada but I haven't yet figured out how it will end. Writing a long palindrome requires patience and a keen eye for hidden words. If you've ever wandered the aisles of a grocery store, noticing the "lonely" in "Tylenol," the "nosy" in "Tyson," or the "soiree" in "Cheerios," there is a decent chance that you, too, could compose such a work.
