Palindrome Puzzle
Q: What is a palindrome?
A: A palindrome is a word or number which reads the same way forward as backward.

By placing a finger on the letter 'L' and tracing along the lines, how many different ways can you spell the word 'level'.
You can go forward and backwards. You can use letters twice but when you get to a letter you must use it, you can't skip over it.
NB I like having puzzles like this on my walls for students to try and figure out when daydreaming ;-)
