A palindrome is a word, phrase, number, or sequence that reads the same forwards and backwards when you ignore spaces, punctuation, and capitalisation. Examples: 'racecar', 'A man a plan a canal Panama', 'Was it a car or a cat I saw', 'Never odd or even'. The word comes from Greek: palin (again) + dromos (way).
Yes. 'level' reads L-E-V-E-L forwards and backwards. Other common single-word palindromes include: civic, radar, deed, noon, kayak, madam, refer, rotator, repaper, and racecar.
The longest single-word palindrome in standard English dictionaries is 'tattarrattat' (12 letters), coined by James Joyce to represent a knock at the door. Among common words, 'redivider' (9 letters) and 'rotavator' (9 letters) are often cited as longest palindromes.
