Types of Palindromes
Character by Character
The most common of English palindromes are those that are read character by
character, for instance level, rotor and race-car. Character by character means
that each character of the word matches, and the word can be spelled the same
forwards or backwards.
Madam Im Adam is a famous character by character palindrome. Palindrome
examples also exist in phrases or sentences where punctuation, capitals and
spacing are ignored. For instance Sit on a potato pan, Otis. One of perhaps the
most famous palindromes that exit in this form is Able was I ere I saw Elba.
Name Palindromes
Palindromes exist in names too; a past Prime Minister of Cambodia was named
Lon Nol.
Word Palindromes
Some palindromes use words rather than letters, for example First ladies rule
the State and state the rule: ladies first. There, instead of each character
matching, the whole sentence can be read backwards and forwards. The
individual letters dont match, but the whole words do.
Number Palindromes
Palindromes arent just a word game. They are also found in numbers and are
studied in recreational mathematic. In fact, a palindromic prime is known as a
palindromic number that is a prime number.
Palindromes are even seen in molecular biology. Many molecular lengths
between 4 and 8 nucleotides are palindromic as they correspond
to nitrogenous sequences that read the same forwards as they do backwards.
Long Palindromes
The longest known palindrome in the Oxford Dictionary is tattarrattat. The
longest palindrome in use today is said to the Finnish word
saippuakivikauppias which means soap stone vendor. A derivative of this is
the palindrome saippuakalasalakauppias meaning soapfish bootlegger.
