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

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

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

I was looking to find a word or a phrase that could be read whether it’s forward, backward, sideways or upside down and nothing happened!? If you could email a bunch of words, phrases etc that would be greatly appreciated!

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

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