What Is a Palindrome?

A palindrome is a word, phrase, number, or sequence of characters that reads the same forward and backward. The word "racecar" is a classic example — spell it forwards or backwards and it is identical. Famous palindrome phrases include "A man, a plan, a canal: Panama" and "Was it a car or a cat I saw?" — both read the same in either direction when spaces and punctuation are ignored.
