WordPlay: Palindromes
If you cite information from this LexiConnexxions report, please give credit and a link to this page. These reports and analyses are compiled and prepared by a human being, not a machine. Thank you.
The LexiConnexxions analysis has identified many PALINDROMES in the Spelling Bee lexicon.
This WordPlay report compiles and defines Bee words that are palindromes. A palindrome is a word, phrase, poem, number or other character string that reads exactly the same forwards as it does backwards.
A handful of palindromes may be found in the Spelling Bee lexicon.
The complete list of words on this topic is shown at right (on laptop or desktop) or at the end of the page (on mobile); the same list with definitions is given below. Bee words marked with an asterisk have been used in at least one Spelling Bee puzzle, then subsequently disallowed; they are retained here for historical interest.
