    A semordnilap is a word that spells a different word forward and backward, such as faced and decaf, or dam and mad.

    Kate.... I'm sorry I didn't notice it......
    It goes to show that great minds think alike.....

    This isn't the easiest game to play.. it really gets you thinking... I'm almost stumped...
    Leave it to Ken to come up with something like this.....

    How about..........................

    timer.......... remit

    I’m sure there are plenty of words out there for this game, however it may have been more interesting if it had been in Alphabetical order

    Feel free to start over in alphabetical order. I just thought this might be a hard one anyhow, so I left it open.
