“Semordnilap” is a word playfully coined by word-game lovers some time in the mid 20th century. While a palindrome reads the same way backwards or forwards (otto, kayak), a semordnilap (itself a semordnilap of “palindromes”) makes a completely different word when spelled backwards.

“Desserts” and “stressed” aren’t palindromes, but rather… what’s the word?

The desserts, you enjoy them when you eat them, then you regret having eaten them.

Just eat one and enjoy. If you don’t do this often it will be okay.

Yes, but ‘cake’ spelled backwards is ‘ekac’ which means absolutely nothing so just eat it!
