Word-unit palindromes are palindromes where all the words read the same back and forth, like this SymmyS winner, titled “Cold Feet at the Altar”: Say I do? What do I do? What do I say?! This is part of a complete episode.
Transcript of “Cold Feet at the Altar Palindrome”
We were talking earlier about palindromes, and they’re also word unit palindromes.
What’s that? A word unit?
That’s when all the words read back and forth rather than just the letters.
I see.
For example, here’s one called Cold Feet at the Altar.
Say I do? What do I do? What do I say?
I see.
If you read that backward, word by word, it works the same way.
We talk about more than palindromes on this show.
