Palindromes

by Emma Snow

There are many challenging word puzzles. Possibly one of the most difficult to create is a palindrome. A palindrome spells the same word backward as forward.

For example, take the word:

RACECAR

Spell it backwards, and you have:

RACECAR

Palindromes are extremely rare, but can be found in everyday words. Some of the simpler palindromes are:

MOM
DAD
