    excuse me, no where in your instructions did you say the first two and the last two had to be different. READ your lips. And it is a sentence, from some play.

      Apologies, but unless they are different, a sentence cannot be made Redstar,
      Jenny
      Has to have a subject, noun and verb.

          Answer to No 1 is you can take the first letter from each word and put it on the end, and then read it backwards and it is the original word.

            Shiney, I think that's sort of what I said, only you explained it much more clearly than me. :)
            Do we get half a point each?

            On the subject of palindromes, what is the longest palindrome in the English language?
            (Clue - it can be used in the garden).

            There are lots of palindromic sentences in the English language. I think someone has devised one with about 15,000 words but it doesn't really make much grammatical sense!

            There are the old, recognised, ones of "Madam, I'm Adam", "Able was I ere I saw Elba" and "A man, a plan, a canal, Panama" and many others. But I don't know the one you're referring to :scratch:

            I'm having trouble posting again!!!!! I click on 'Post Reply' and nothing is happening on my screen. The post still stays unposted at the bottom. :sad: It may be posting on GC but not on my screen. Trying again, but I'm having too much trouble to bother to continue tonight! I may be back tomorrow to try looking at other threads.

            Correct Jazmine. :blue thumb:

            Sorry Shiney, I should have been more specific. I was looking for the longest palindromic word in the English language.

            Do you know I often wake up in the middle of the night and the first thought in my mind is "what's the longest palindromic in the English language":scratch: :dunno: :snork:
