This website is a comprehensive educational resource dedicated to the fascinating world of semordnilaps - words that spell different words when reversed.
To provide a comprehensive, educational resource for students, teachers, linguists, and word enthusiasts to explore and understand the unique linguistic phenomenon of semordnilaps.
This website is currently in its educational phase, focusing on providing high-quality content and resources. Community features and interactive elements may be added in future updates.
A semordnilap is a word or phrase that forms a different valid word when its letters are reversed. Unlike palindromes (which read the same forwards and backwards), semordnilaps create entirely new words with different meanings. Examples include "drawer" ⇄ "reward" and "desserts" ⇄ "stressed".
Currently, our dictionary contains a curated collection of verified semordnilap pairs. Future versions may include community submission features.
