Term for a word that's a different word when spelled backwards [duplicate]
Palindromes are words, sentences, numbers that are the same forwards and backwards. Is there a term for words that are one word forwards but a different word backwards? For example, star backwards is rats, or god is dog.
Solution 1:
The most common term for these is Semordnilap which is just the word palindromes backwards. A more understandable, albeit less fun, term is 'reverse anagram.'
See, e.g., semordnilap
