SWIMS is the same upside down and backwards

What word looks the same upside down and backward?

almost everybody is wrong, "SWIMS" backwards would be "SMIWS", and a "Y" upside down would look like an "A" or an "H"

almost everyone is wrong, read the words "upside down and backwards" is "SWIMS" the same backwards? nope! it would be SMIWS. that's not a word folks, and ipod! would be !dopi

The question may have two meanings. 

It could mean a word which is the same when you flip it upside down and is also the same when you turn it backwards. That is, both ways give the same word. 

The answer is OXO 

It could also mean a word which is the same when you flip it upside down and then backwards. That is, the same word after the 2 step process. 

The answers are: SWIMS, NOON... 
and in lowercase: dollop, spods, solos, ipod!   

NOON, this word can be written upside down or backwards and the spelling still remains the same.

I tend to use the TPR (🍎total physical response🍎) method in my classes for beginners, it helps my students understand better and it keeps them focused. With my more experienced students I tend to learn about their interests and goals in the English Language then create lesson plans focused on that. There are 2 types of classes I focus on, we can either take a more formal approach where we do book studies and go into depth about learning English or we have a "chill class" where we will be doing small fun conversational activities/discussions.

Zinhle

I have 3 years of experience teaching a diverse range of students, from beginner to advanced. My teaching approach combines the communicative method, task-based learning, and project-based learning to ensure lessons are interactive, engaging, and effective. I understand that learning can sometimes be challenging so I make use of a variety of visual aids, games, videos, and worksheets to create a dynamic learning environment.

In my approach to online learning, I use a variety of teaching styles to meet different learning needs. I offer instructor-led sessions for real-time interaction, along with opportunities for collaborative group work. I also incorporate self-paced learning to give students flexibility. Problem-based learning encourages critical thinking, while the flipped classroom allows students to review material on their own before engaging in deeper discussions. I also provide personalized mentoring and use gamified elements to keep learners motivated. Visual aids like charts and videos support comprehension, and I encourage discussion through the Socratic method. Lastly, I incorporate hands-on, experiential learning to help students apply what they've learned in real-world situations.
