For those who did not figure it out!!!
If you drop the 1st letter from each word then what is left can read from back to front.

ya mean palindromes
but these examples are nonsense ones
much better things like "madam im adam" not true palindrome but punctuation and miss-position of letters is generally allowed.
RACECAR
DEED
LEVEL
PIP
ROTOR
CIVIC
POP
MADAM
EYE
NUN
RADAR
TOOT
Words like LIVE and STRAW (which read EVIL and WARTS backwards) are not themselves palindromes but the "phrases" LIVE EVIL and STRAW WARTS are. A palindrome is not necessarily a single word.
The longest single English word in common usage which is a palindrome is REDIVIDER, although the contrived chemical term DETARTRATED is two letters longer. In Finnish there is a 25-letter palindromic word: SOLUTOMAATTIMITTAAMOTULOS which means the result from a measurement laboratory for tomatoes, although technically it is a compound of four words. There is also the equally long SAIPPUAKUPPINIPPUKAUPPIAS which means soap cup trader.
When creating reversible sentences, it is usually accepted that punctuation and word spacings are ignored, and so the famous MADAM, I'M ADAM is a valid palindrome.
