In this episode, Rob and Jess dive headfirst into the topsy-turvy world of palindromes: words, phrases, and numbers that read the same backward and forward. From the humble “wow“ to a mind-boggling 1,300-word monster, we’ve got the subject covered from top to bottom (and back to front).
🔁 What’s the longest known palindrome?
🔁 What’s the oldest we’ve ever found?
🔁 Who were the winners at this year’s palindrom awards (The Symmsys)?
These questions answered and more in another Words Unravelled.
