Words spelled forward or backwards that spell the same thing are called palindromes. The word palindrome is derived from the Greek palíndromos, meaning running back again (palín = AGAIN + drom–, drameîn = 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
