Very tricky word riddles

[TFAtarter7]

What word looks the same upside down and backwards?
and my favorite
I know a word of letters three. Add two, and fewer there will be

[coolness]

not sure on the first one, but is the second one five?

[TFAtarter7]

NO thats not it. It is a three letter word. Try again.

[koonkang]

well to solve the first one i got all the letters that look the same upside down and backwards. i got I,O,H,X. I anagramed HOAX. but it doesnt look the same backwards. so could it be HOH or something like that?

[adelaidebull]

First one is SWIMS
I think the second is Few too Fewer?

[kanjisasahara]

too bad illuminati doesnt work here but the second one is ten. its more than three but less words.

[TFAtarter7]

adelaidebull got them both.

[koonkang]

oh when u said the same upside down nd backwards i thought you ment like a word that is symetrical from the middle and ten a word that the same upside down. i didnt know u ment both changes.

[spirited_soul]

Well I would have gotten the 'few' but I was indeed stumped on the 'swims'

[TFAtarter7]
