INTRODUCTION
Greetings my dear fellow steemians. I trust we are good? It's a good thing to think and guess, it helps our brain and thinking faculty very well. Been long I participated in this contest series. Please stay tuned and see what I have got for you all.
I SPY WITH MY LITTLE EYES WHAT THIS WORD COULD BE?
Through my thoughts and research, I think “Knocker-upper” could be the word that starts with "k" which has a twelve letter words, It's hyphenated of course. It has this specific duty of going around to wake up neighbors around the neighborhood to get up and get ready for a new day's duty. Although in today's diary or record is no longer to be found in a cobbled street.
KNOCKER-UPPER
A knocker-upper which sometimes is known as a knocker-up was taken up as a profession in Ireland. It began and lasted well into the Revolutional industry and as at late 1920s just before alarm clocks were affordable. A knocker-upper's main job was to awake sleeping neighbors inorder for them to get to work on time.

They were paid one shilling to each client every week. The price attached to waking up totally depended on the time and the distance to the home of the clients. 4am was the perfect time to wake them but some prefer the 5 or 6 0'clock. I think they really playeda very responsible role for getting every neighborhood alerted to go to work early and to attend to other duties early.
