Maly says
December 12, 2016 @ 07:52

noon actually isn’t correct because the N will be backwards


Dan says
December 12, 2016 @ 20:18

Try drawing an N upside down.

The word is swims – It reads forwards,backwards,upside down and in both lower and higher cases!

Smiws.


Jerry says
May 30, 2017 @ 13:53

If it is noon the “n” would be a “u”… Wouldn’t it? uoou.


Dan says
May 31, 2017 @ 13:48

@Jerry Good question. That’s why the answer has it in all capital letters, NOON, because capital N is the same upside down.


Ron says
June 13, 2017 @ 08:08

NOON is still wrong because upside down ‘N’ would be ‘I/I’


Dan says
June 13, 2017 @ 10:24

Nope. All you have to do is flip your head or screen around to see you’re wrong.

Dan says

There are plenty of palindromes, but not nearly as many are the same upside down.

suns would work??


Dan says
March 19, 2019 @ 09:00

suns backwards is snus. All qualifying words have to be palindromes.


Mailee Peters says
March 27, 2019 @ 20:41

racecar and redder are both ones that can be flipped backwards and are the same word with no capitals


Dan says
March 28, 2019 @ 09:12

But neither are the same upside down.

pood

(Russian: пуд, tr. pud, IPA: [put]), is a unit of mass equal to 40 funt (фунт, Russian pound). Plural: pudi or pudy. Since 1899 It is approximately set to 16.38 kilograms (36.11 pounds). … For example, a 24 kg kettlebell is commonly referred to as “one-and-half pood kettlebell” (polutorapudovaya girya).


Dan says

Not Swims. Swims backward is SMIWS.
It has to be BOOB or BOB

The answer is NOON-
My friend insists that BOOB is also a correct answer.
I say no.
Can someone explain this?


Dan says
July 11, 2022 @ 09:25

@Rockismyflavor You are correct. B isn’t still a B when it’s viewed upside down, but N is.
