Palindroma

Hey there, have you ever heard the word "palindroma"? It's a big and fancy word that describes something that can be read backwards and forwards and still make sense.

Let's take the word "mom" as an example. If you spell it backwards, it still says "mom"! So "mom" is a palindroma word.

But words aren't the only things that can be palindromas. Some numbers can also be read backwards and forwards and still be the same. For example, the number "11" is a palindroma number because it looks the same both ways.

So, palindroma is just a way to describe words or numbers that can be read the same way forwards and backwards. It's kind of like a cool puzzle or game that some people like to play with language and numbers.
