If you can answer that question you are in the top 10% group of people with useless knowledge. But for the rest of us normal people let me explain.
A palindrome is a word or sentence that is exactly the same whether written forwards or backwards. For example:
- Taco cat.
- Madam, in Eden, I’m Adam
- Mr. Owl ate my metal worm.
- Step on no pets.

- Diaper – Repaid
- Desserts – Stressed
- Looter – Retool
