Answers to Questions
What is the list of Semordnilaps in English?
The list of words anacycliques/volvograms/reversgrams is very large, this list is not exhaustive (use the functions above to have more words), these are basic examples:
STRESSED <=> DESSERTS
DELIVER <=> REVILED
ANIMAL <=> LAMINA
DEPOTS <=> STOPED
DIAPER <=> REPAID
DRAWER <=> REWARD
LOOTER <=> RETOOL
MURDER <=> REDRUM
REDIPS <=> SPIDER

STEEL <=> LEETS
SWAP <=> PAWS
All these words exist spelled in one direction or the other.
What is the difference between a semordnilap and a palindrome?
Semordnilap can be read in both direction and can be a different one. A palindrome must be identical backward.
Example: LEVEL is a palindrome (but also a semordnilap)
Example: SEMORDNILAP is a semordnilap, which can be read PALINDROMES backward.
NB: all semordnilaps are anagrams.
What is an ambigram?
An ambigram is a writing (or drawing) that can have a 2-way reading. For example according to a symmetry, it is in a sense a graphic variant of a palindrome.
