YAM

YAM
Answer
TONFor all of the other words, each word printed in capital letters as presented when viewed in a mirror will appear as another valid word with all of its letters formed properly. But for the word "TON", the "N" does not appear properly in the reflection of a mirror, and therefore this word doesn't satisfy the criteria described met by the other words.
For the other words in the group, here are the words for each that you would see in the reflection of a mirror:
MA ==> AM
TA ==> AT
TI ==> IT
TAM ==> MAT
WAY ==> YAW
YAM ==> MAY
The title is an anagram for the word "reflection".
