What 5 letter word typed in all capital letters can be read the same upside down?

SWIMS

Why this works

The answer to the riddle is "SWIMS," which cleverly uses both the visual aspect of letters and the concept of symmetry. When you type "SWIMS" in all capital letters and turn it upside down, the letters still resemble themselves: S remains S, W becomes M, I stays I, and the final S is again an S. This riddle plays on the unique shapes of these letters, making it a fun challenge to visualize how they look from different angles!

Common Wrong Answers

“MOWED”

Although 'MOWED' is a 5-letter word, when flipped upside down, it does not read the same.

“SPOON”

'SPOON' is also a 5-letter word, but it does not have the same appearance when turned upside down.

“LEVEL”

'LEVEL' is a palindrome, but it cannot be read the same way upside down due to the 'V' and 'L' shapes.
