"Madam, I'm Adam." What's strange about this sentence? Try reading
it backwards. It reads the same way forwards and
backwards. A word, phrase, or sentence that reads
the same forwards or backwards is called a palindrome. For example the word wow is a palindrome. See
how many three-letter words you can think of that
are palindromes. Try for ten. Then see if you
can think of at least one four-letter and one
five-letter palindrome.
