MM - Bananagram Letters - Line Symmetry
The symmetry in letters is quite interesting. Ignoring the details of individual fonts and looking just at the basic letter shapes we find that A M T U V W and Y are symmetrical about a vertical axis, B C D E and K are symmetrical about a horizontal axis while H I O and X are symmetrical about both. X is also symmetriocal about two diagonal axes while as a circle, O is symmetrical about an infinte number of axes. I tried to think of a palindrome to give me both a horizontal and vertical line of symmetry but the only word I could think of was MUM and even this was impossible as Bananagram only has 3 Ms!
