# Olympiad: word puzzles — anagrams, palindromes, word ladders, sentence 8

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
A palindrome reads the same forwards and backwards, such as mum, dad, Nan, level and noon.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** palindrome · **What happens:** read · **To what, where:** same forwards

<!-- .vabout -->
This is a sentence of the lesson «Olympiad: word puzzles — anagrams, palindromes, word ladders» of the english course of Mova's primary school. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (palindrome), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
