April ends with rare ‘palindrome’ of dates that read the same forward, backward
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — April comes to a close with 10 days that read the same forward as they do backward.
That’s because any word, phrases or sequence that reads the same in both directions is known as a “palindrome.”

This fun and rare occurrence stretches from April 20, 2024 to April 29, 2024. The palindrome is better recognized when written out in numerical form.
The last time the dates fell into a palindrome format was in March of 2023. The next round will happen in May of 2025.
