This is kind of a hack of case, though. I think what the OP was looking for is

isPalindrome word

...

| (word == reverse word) = putStrLn (word ++ " is a palindrome") | otherwise = putStrLn (word ++ " is not a palindrome")

Erm? It's as much of a hack of case as yours is, since the above is actually using case.
