A word or sentence that can be read in more than one way. This can be achieved in several ways, for example by writing the word so it can be interpreted in more than one way, or by making it also meaningful when turned upside down. The name comes from Latin where ambi = both and gram = letter
An ambigram, also sometimes known as an inversion, is a graphical figure that spells out a word not only in its form as presented, but also in another direction or orientation. Douglas R. Hofstadter describes an ambigram as a "calligraphic design that manages to squeeze two different readings into the selfsame set of curves."
