I'm thinking about putting a tutorial here when I have time, but I really suggest that you jump right in and give it a go. It's mostly down to practice and experience. These designs are very uncommon as it is difficult to find words which will work as an ambigram in this manner. Shift A design with no symmetry but can be read as two different words depending on how the curves of the letters are interpreted. See my 3-D ambigram generator for an automatic tool to create these. 3-Dimensional A design where an object is presented that will appear to read several letters or words when viewed from different angles. Space-filling Similar to chain ambigrams, but tile to fill the 2-dimensional plane. Sometimes chain ambigrams are presented in the form of a circle. Letters are usually overlapped meaning that a word will start partway through another word. Chain A design where a word (or sometimes words) are interlinked forming a repeating chain. Mirror A design that will read the same when reflected or viewed through a mirror. Most of the ambigrams on are of this type. The word spelled out from the alternative direction(s) is often the same, but may be a different word to the initally presented form. This is usually 180 degrees, but rotational ambigrams of other angles exist, for example 90 or 45 degrees. There are many different types of ambigrams, most of which usually fall into one of several catagories: Rotational A design that presents several instances of words when rotated through a fixed angle.
