Palindromes in the OED

Authors

Jeff Grant

Abstract

For some time I have been looking out for long palindromic words in the Oxford English Dictionary. I recently decided to try and find the longest palindromes in each letter of the alphabet, starting with A and working right through to Z. The results of this search are set out below. Reduplications such as TOOT-TOOT, WAW-WAW and TUT-TUT have not been included.
