Symmetrical words (Posted on 2004-05-21)

Can you think of words...

with horizontal symmetry?
with vertical symmetry?
with 180 degrees rotation symmetry?

What are the LONGEST words in each category? (Common words are preferred.)

Penny,

Many of your words don't work. The problem didn't ask for words made up of letters with symmetry. It asked for WORDS with that symmetry. So, you shouldn't include words such as "AUTOTOMY, HIMATIA, HOITY-TOITY, HOMOTAXIA, ... YAWATAHAMA".
