Palindromes with Central Pairs

Abstract

A recent survey of over 1000 palindromes has shown that 71 per cent pivot on a single letter, as in SEXES, EVE and MESEM, whereas only 29 per cent have a double letter in the centre, as in TIBBIT, OPPO and REDDER. From the palindromes with an even number of letters I have selected 26, starting with AA and working through the alphabet to ZZ.
