If BOB is upside down and backwards, it can't be read correctly from left to right because the 'B's would be - well - backwards.

OH! I'm having a hard time visualizing this, so I guess I'm going to have draw it out. My brain just can't seem to draw a picture! :lol:

In the meantime, would it be SOS, or would that be the same as Bob? And since it is an acronym would it be considered a word? :hmmm:

:hmmm:

How about "WOW" ?

Forwards it would read "WOW"
Backwards it would still read "WOW"
Upside down it would read "MOM"
and you would still be able to read it as "MOM"

... did I meet all the criteria this time? :lol:

I thought about WOW also, but I thought it had to be the same word all three ways. :hehe:

No, the answer is not SOS or ZZZZZZZZZZZ. :zzz: :lol:
Nor is the answer WOW - though I have to say, zeilfanaat, when I first heard/read the riddle that was exactly what I thought, but the word has to be the same word.

"XXX" ??

Honestly, I'm stumped.
I tried reasoning which letters could all be read forward and backward as the same letter, as well as upside down, and still read the same word...
So I got to the letters H I O X ... from which I can make no sensible word.

So, either I missed a letter, or I misunderstood the riddle... or we're supposed to think outside the box, and the riddle says something else apart from what I think it says... Which is probably the most likely one, since that's usually the thing with these kind of riddles...
Not sure if I still make sense. :unsure: Probably not. It's starting to look like something Tippy would say. :sigh:

"XXX" ???? ... you can even read it sideways... ;)

:lol:

:lol: Well, I've heard and/or seen things that seemed more Tippy-ish! ;)

No, the answer is not XXX.

Maybe the following will help a little:

When reading the original riddle, try thinking of it this way (notice the parentheses/bolded words):

What word can be read forwards and (backwards and upside down) and still be read from left to right?

Also, the word is 4 letters long.
