The word river is not a palindrome; spelled in reverse, river is revir. This doesn't work.

A palindrome is a word or a sentence that is spelled the same forward or backward, like 'radar'. In sentence form, the word breaks do not have to be in the same places when reversed.

Famous examples are:

"Able was I ere I saw Elba."

"A man, a plan, a canal: Panama."

The river Exe in England is a river whose name is a palindrome.

No. A palindrome must read the same backwards as it does forwards.
