You might need to substitute “/usr/share/dict/words” or something similar on your system.

Here’s the list generated by the previously described pipe. (It’s not comprehensive, of course, and I haven’t filtered out palindromes.) Please feel free to add any of these words to this list (provided they are real words). I sorted the longest first. (Curiously, the first one is also a palindrome.) Most of them seem reasonable, although some of the shorter ones are silly. (I’m skeptical of the value of including every single letter of the alphabet, both upper- and lowercase, in a spelling dictionary.)

fbharjo: I was skeptical about “kindrow”, but Google returns “​about 3,390 results” that make no mention of “Wordnik”, so it stays. I replaced it, however, with the capitalized form, as it primarily (perhaps exclusively) appears as a surname. Thanks for the word.

Of course, this means that “Wordnik” is also a bona fide anadrome.
