    Reveal: There are 6 https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/semordnilap (words that are other words when reversed) in the grid- 1A backwards is DEER, 5A = ROOM, 18A = AVID, 22A = WARD, 34A = ELBA, 35A = RATS. If you use the first letters of these reversed words, they spell DRAWER (a nod to ARTIST in the meta prompt). DRAWER backwards is REWARD, the meta answer.

      Thanks for the meta explanation!
    • Darth 🤓4:41 · 2024-08-31T21:04:27.026Z
      Excellent! Clever idea, and well-constructed. Nice symmetry, too. :D The title might have given away too much, but sometimes that's okay....
      • LarsCaine constructor · 2024-08-31T21:52:39.392Z
        Thanks! Yeah, I was struggling to come up with a clever title. I was hoping 19A would be a rabbit hole, but I knew it wouldn't be for vets like you😁
      • kurtalert 🤓2:09 · 2024-09-01T13:53:58.805Z
        The answer should have been DRAWER REWARD! Fun one.
        • LarsCaine constructor · 2024-09-01T14:26:14.171Z
          Thanks! I meant to put that as an answer yesterday, but forgot!
