i recently wrote a method to cycle through /usr/share/dict/words and return a list of palindromes using my ispalindrome(x) method here's some of the code...what's wrong with it? it just stalls for 10 minutes and then returns a list of all the words in the file

def reverse(a):
    return a[::-1]

def ispalindrome(a):
    b = reverse(a)
    if b.lower() == a.lower():
        return True
    else:
        return False

wl = open('/usr/share/dict/words', 'r')
wordlist = wl.readlines()
wl.close()
for x in wordlist:
    if not ispalindrome(x):
        wordlist.remove(x)
print wordlist
