word that spells other words
Best Answer: Palindromes are the same forwards and backwards, like RACECAR, she specifically said she did not want those. Anagrams are words that contain letters you can use to spell other words, like POST and STOP. Anagrams do not have to use all the letters, or be in order. Your talking about semordnilaps (PALINDROMES backwards), also known as heteropalindromes, semi-palindromes, half-palindromes, reversgrams, reversible anagrams, word reversals, or anadromes.
