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.
English Word with Three Consecutive Double Letters
What English word has three consecutive double letters?
Bookkeeper (or bookkeeping). An alternate, tricky, answer could be Woollen (where W is a “double u”).
Only At Rest Do They Touch the Ground
Two legs I have and this will confound, only at rest do they touch the ground. What am I?
A wheelbarrow.
Many Feathers To Help Me Fly

What am I?
An arrow.
Tends To Overlook
I am something everybody tends to overlook, no matter how careful they are. What am I?
Your nose.
Born In the Ocean
Born in the ocean,
White as snow,
I’m hidden in water,
Where do I go?
What am I?
Salt. Salt is harvested from seawater, it’s white and it dissolves in water.
Hear a Lot, Say a Lot
I hear a lot
And I say a lot
Few ever look for me
And even fewer ever hear me
I hide in plain sight
Whether its day or night
To help is all I want
But most like to bend me
And as if they had a wand
Never again shall anyone find me
They do this to control
Without realizing the high price of a soul
But when I’m least expected
They’d rather be protected
For there shall be no place to hide
What am I?
The truth.
