6-year-old wants this new word added to dictionary — but he needs you to use it!
A bright boy from Victoria, Canada, recently discovered that the English language is lacking something — a word to describe words that spell something different when written backwards.
And little Levi Budd even has a fix for it!
According to a now-viral video his family shared on YouTube, it all started when the 6-year-old spotted a stop sign during a ride with his mother.
"Mom, I see that 'stop' spells 'pots' backwards," he noted. "That's not a palindrome. What do we call a word like that ... where a word spells another word backwards?"
While he and his family could find plenty of examples of what he meant — flow/wolf, loop/pool, rats/stars, etc. — there wasn't an official word in the dictionary to describe it.source: trending today

My 7 year old son uses "Levidromes" all the time. Mostly he prefers to read inverted. He has been diagnosed dyslexic. Maybe it's just a different way of looking at things and that's what the world needs today.
