Same Forward, Backward and Upside Down
What word is the same written forward, backward and upside down?
NOON. The word needs to be a palindrome and made up of only these letters that look the same upside down:
H I N O S X Z
For instance, SOON doesn’t work, because even though each letter looks the same upside down, it reads NOOS.

A – Not the same upside down
I – This works
SOS – This works, but it isn’t a word, it’s an acronym.
I wouldn’t call that tons…

NOON only works with capital. If you use lower case – It does not work either. “uoou”

SWIMS does work

SWIMS does not work. It has to be the same backwards and SWIMS spelled backwards is SMIWS.
