If you take the alphabet (abc....)and reverse it (zyx.....)and put the two together to make a key for a code where z=a, y=b, x=c and so on for every letter in the alphabet. The word "Wizard" would be converted into "Draziw" the word wizard spelled backwards. Wierd huh?

Neat trick. . . and rare, though not quite the ONLY word that can do this. It's a bit of a pain to search for them all, but I've come up with some.
(Note, for starters, that this could only work with words having an even number of letters.)
Here's what I've found:
TWO-letter words -- by, lo (the only ones, I think)
FOUR-letter words:
bevy
girt
grit
hols
izar
Polk [if proper names are allowed]
trig
vole
wold
SIX-letter:
hovels
wizard
(I can't even imagine trying to find EIGHT-letter ones!)
