Default Palindrome Game >>   Show Printable Version  Show Printable Version   Email this Page  Email this Page  

Hi all, a new game for you - some answers are easy, some not so easy..............

A palindrome is a word that reads the same if it is turned back-to-front. So the names Bob, Eve, and Otto are all palindromes. So is the name of the pop group Abba.

Try to identify palindromic words from the following clues. Answers will be in RED as they are answered. I will give 100 credits for each correct answer - enjoy......

Example Part of the body
Answer Eye

Your clues are:-

1 - Midday - Noon
2 - A young dog - Pup
3 - Flat - Level
4 - A word for addressing a lady - Madam
5 - An Eskimo canoe - Kayak
6 - A system for detecting aircraft, ships, etc. - Radar
7 - An action - Deed
8 - Pieces of music for one person - Solos
9 - Grass that grows on the seashore - Marram
10 - In music, half a semibreve - Minim
11 - Doctrine - Tenet
12 - Restorer - Reviver
