Palindromes & Pangrams!
Have you ever come across a word that reads the same backward and forward? Or a sentence that uses every single letter of the alphabet? Welcome to the fun world of palindromes and pangrams! 
What's a Palindrome? 
Imagine you have a secret word, and you read it forwards, and it sounds exactly the same as when you read it backwards! That's a palindrome! It's like a word that's a mirror image of itself. 
Think about the word 'LEVEL' 
Read it forwards: L-E-V-E-L 
Read it backwards: L-E-V-E-L 
See? It's the same!

Palindromes can even be whole sentences! It's a bit trickier, but super fun to try and make them. Here's a famous one: 'A man, a plan, a canal: Panama!' 

What's a Pangram? 
Imagine you have a special sentence that's a bit like a scavenger hunt for letters! A pangram is a sentence that uses every single letter of the alphabet at least once. 
That's right, all 26 letters, from A to Z, are in there somewhere! The most famous pangram is: 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.'
