Word for the Day: Palindrome

A palindrome is a word, phrase, number or other sequence of units (such as a strand of DNA) that has the property of reading the same in either direction (the adjustment of punctuation and spaces between words is generally permitted). The word "palindrome" was coined from Greek roots Greek πάλιν (palin) "back" and δρóμος (dromos) "way, direction" by English writer Ben Jonson in the 1600s. Composing literature in palindromes is an example of constrained writing.

Three famous English palindromes are: "Able was I ere I saw Elba," honoring the first exile of Napoleon; "A man, a plan, a canal: Panama," (by Leigh Mercer, commemorating Theodore Roosevelt or Ferdinand Lesseps), and "Madam, in Eden I'm Adam," (a reference to the creation story in the Bible). (This last example is still palindromic if "in Eden" is omitted. The response would be a one-word palindrome, "Eve.")
