Spinonyms --a type of ambigram--are words in which each letter is the same symbol or glyph, rotated and/or mirrored and/or placed higher or lower, to differentiate one from another. Unpaged (having no numbers on the pages of a book) has seven letters with no duplicates. Grand has five letters with no duplicates, as does Nudge. Both Aegean and Envisage use a lower case g, which requires it to be dropped below the other letters to read properly. Envisage also squeezes two letters--V and I--out of one glyph. Sneeze has the distinction of being composed of a glyph that is symmetrical. And Band is vertically mirrored; it reads the same forwards or backwards.
