Constructor's Note
Some clues involve spelling a word backwards. Common phrases that clue this are RETURNING, GOING BACK, THE WRONG WAY, GOING UP, UPSIDE DOWN, STANDING ON ITS HEAD, TURNED, WHEN RETIRED, IN RETREAT, AFTER REVOLUTION etc. In addition to the phrase cluing it's a BACKWARDS clue, you will also get 1. A non-cryptic definition of the answer 2. A word or words that you have to put backwards OR the definition of the word that you have to put backwards. e.g. 1 Returning maps, get junk e-mail (4) = SPAM e.g.2 Englishman in Australia comes back to wash the floor (3) = POM backwards = MOP
