Question

There are two words that are the same when you rotate them around a point to that they are on opposite side. That's kind of confusing so look at this diagram.

(word)------>

. \/

\/

here>(word upside down and kind of backwards)

One of them is the word 'I', but the other is harder.

Good luck!

Yeah, NOON is right, toot isn't. MOW is the one I got.

Letters that are the same upside down:

S, O, I, X, N, l.

Letters (in pairs) that become another letter:

p & d, q & b, M & W.

We can't realistically use q, as it's almost exclusively paired with U. So that means no b either.

that might help. MINNOW is close but obviously wrong :D

So

There are several ways to rotate an object 180O.

1). Rotating object could be oriented in space vertically (like a wheel). Then 180O rotation would make it upside down and swap left and right.

Example: "nou" would make "nou". Rotating "b" would produce a mirror image of "p" (not a real "p"). "MOW" would end up the same "MOW"

2). Horizontal 180O rotation (like roulette) would produce a mirror image.

Example: "MOW" would produce "WOM".

If you rotate "bob" 180O twice -- one time vertically, and another time horizontally, it would end up as "pop".

I am going to assume you meant vertical rotation as horizontal rotation results in palindromes such as bob and race car instead of prior responses like pod. Alos lower case swims does not work because one side of an lower case i is larger than the other, in capitals it works. swims SWIMS
