What is palindrome answer? ›

A palindrome is a word, sentence, verse, or even number that reads the same backward or forward. It derives from Greek roots that literally mean “running back” (palin is “again, back,” and dromos, “running.”) The word appears to have been created in English based on these roots in the early 1600s.

A palindrome is a word or phrase that reads the same in both directions. The word palindrome is derived from the Greek word palíndromos, which means "running back again". Examples of one-word palindromes include "eye" and "did". Two-word palindromes include "edit/tide" and "lived/devil".

The longest single-word palindrome in the Oxford English Dictionary is the 12-letter onomatopoeic word tattarrattat, coined by James Joyce in Ulysses (1922) for a knock on the door.

One approach to checking if a number is a palindrome is to reverse the digits of the number and compare it with the original number. If the reversed number is the same as the original number, then the number is a palindrome.

"Reviver" is the seven letter word that is spelled the same forwards and backwards.

I put soot on warts. Sir, I demand, I am a maid named Iris. Lay a wallaby baby ball away, Al. Tessa's in Italy, Latin is asset.

Some of the best-known palindromes include “Madam, I'm Adam,” “A man, a plan, a canal—Panama,” and “Able was I ere I saw Elba” (which some incorrectly attribute to Napoleon Bonaparte).

Therefore, two-character words (or any even-numbered character words) can also be palindromes.

The first 30 palindromic numbers (in decimal) are: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66, 77, 88, 99, 101, 111, 121, 131, 141, 151, 161, 171, 181, 191, 202, ...

What is the largest 2 digit palindrome? ›

A palindromic number reads the same both ways. The largest palindrome made from the product of two 2-digit numbers is 9009 = 91 × 99.

A word, phrase or sentence that is the same both backwards and forwards is called a palindrome. The name palindrome comes from the Greek words 'again' (palin) and 'to run' (drom). Can you think of some more words that are the same backwards and forwards?

A palindrome is a word or phrase that is the same forwards and backwards, but a semordnilap ("palindromes" backwards) is a word that becomes a different word when read backwards. Get it, smug gums? Heard in Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.

If you love word play, you probably know that a word — or longer piece of writing — that reads the same forward and backward is called a palindrome.

{1001, 1111, 1221, 1331, 1441, 1551, 1661, 1771, 1881, 1991, ..., 9009, 9119, 9229, 9339, 9449, 9559, 9669, 9779, 9889, 9999}, so there are 199 palindromic numbers smaller than 10⁴.

For example, 12321, 101, and 97279 all of these are Palindrome numbers but 123434, and 123 are not palindrome numbers.

A palindrome is a word or phrase that is the same forwards and backwards, but a semordnilap ("palindromes" backwards) is a word that becomes a different word when read backwards.

Conversation. “Was it a car or a cat I saw?” is a palindromic sentence. Neglecting the punctuation, it can be read the same backward.
