Here's why:
* Palindromes read the same forwards and backward. This means the first syllable must match the last, the second must match the second-to-last, and so on.
* English words typically have between 1 and 4 syllables. It's very rare for a word to have 5 syllables, let alone one that could be reversed and still be a word.
Examples of Palindromes with Fewer Syllables:
* Level (2 syllables)
* Madam (2 syllables)
* Racecar (3 syllables)
* Deified (3 syllables)
