Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

COMMENTS
Lychrel candidates are natural numbers that seem unable to form a palindrome through the iterative process of repeatedly reversing its digits and adding the resulting numbers.
On January 23, 2017 a Russian schoolboy, Andrey S. Shchebetov, announced on his web site that he had found a sequence of the first 126 numbers (125 of them never reported before) that take exactly 261 steps to reach a 119-digit palindrome. That sequence was published in the OEIS as A281506. The trajectory of the last number of that sequence, 1186061987030929990, under the "Reverse and Add!" operation was published separately in the OEIS as A281507.
