Symmetrical words (Posted on 2004-05-21) Difficulty: 2 of 5
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.)

Theres quite a few of these but as you prefer common words this is what i've come up with.

the longest common word I can think of with horizontal symmetry is CHECKBOOK.

Vertical symmetry-otto, tool, maam

Rotational symmetry-SWIM, though all the letters in ONIONS

possess independent rotational symmetry. BID has horizontal symmetry when written in caps and vertical symmetry when written in lower case, bid.
