“Palindrome” was first coined in greek literature for giving one word to “running back”, as Palin means back or again, and dromos means running. This explanation was later used in English literature, which is how Palindrome shot to fame in the literary world.
To simplify it for the readers, a palindrome is a phrase, word, sentence, or number that reads the same whether you read it backward or forward. For example, civic reads the same backward and forward. Most of the time with palindromes it’s seen that the spacing, capitalization of alphabets, or even punctuation is not mandatory. Palindrome looks intimidating at the beginning but is a good drill for the brain cells. Just like people play sudoku, going back and forth with palindrome words and sentences is also beneficial.
From A.D. 70 in Greece to its presence in Sanskrit and then its recent connection with the English language talks about the long history of the palindrome.
Different Types of Palindrome
- Character Palindrome
The single word palindrome falls under this category. They can be read the same character by character backward and forward. For instance kayak, aibohphobia.
- Name Palindrome
Like Hannah, Bob, Eve, etc there are a whole lot of names that follow the palindrome pattern.
- No Punctuation Palindrome
One can also find specific phrases that are palindromes and don’t consider punctuation marks while spelling the entire word. Like, Madam, I’m Adam. Now here if you try to read it backward, you have to ignore the punctuation mark otherwise you won’t be able to make the words while reading.
- Number Palindrome
Numbers like 101, 10101, and so on show palindrome sequencing.
