Prerequisites
How to Solve Two-Letter Combination Problems
Step 1: Write the given two-letter combination
Step 2: Reverse the order of the letters (first becomes last, last becomes first)
Step 3: For each letter in the reversed string, find its water image
Step 4: Apply letter water image rules (A,H,I,O,T,U,V,X,Y remain same; M↔W)
Step 5: Combine the transformed letters in order
Step 6: This combined string is the water image
Example Problem
Example: Find the water image of 'MW'. Solution: Step 1: Given string: M W Step 2: Reverse order: W M Step 3: Water image of W = M Step 4: Water image of M = W Step 5: Combine: M W Step 6: Water image of 'MW' is 'MW' Answer: MW
Pro Tips & Tricks
- Always reverse the string order first
- Then apply individual character water image rules
- For symmetrical letters, transformation is simple (same letter)
- M and W swap places in water image
- The water image of 'XY' is 'YX' if X and Y are symmetrical letters
- Practice with different letter combinations
