      I'm feeling pretty dense. I don't understand 2D and 6A. Can someone explain?
      • Sheila K constructor · 2023-10-15T21:55:08.395Z
        the three-word phrase that means "go above and beyond" is "bend over backwards". BEND and OVER are spelled backwards in 2D and 6A, as a literal representation.
        honestly I didn't think anyone would get it lol I just had the idea and wanted to execute it, solvability be damned. so I wouldn't worry too much about feeling dense. :)

          Thanks, Sheila! So obvious once it's explained!
