AHA!

Write me in capitals and I read the same forwards, backwards and upside down.

AHA! Daily #001 · Wednesday 11 November · What's the word?

The four clues

  1. 1Write me in capitals and I read the same forwards, backwards and upside down.
  2. 2I'm a moment that arrives once every day, exactly on time.
  3. 3Everything before me is a.m. Everything after me is p.m.
  4. 4I'm twelve o'clock, right in the middle of the day.

In the game you get one clue at a time: solve it on clue 1 for 100 points, clue 2 for 75, clue 3 for 50, clue 4 for 25.

The answer
NOON

Why?

NOON is a palindrome that also survives being turned upside down: N flips into N, and O into O. It is also the exact moment the day swaps a.m. for p.m.
