Upside-Down and Backward

Constructor's Note
This month's midi contest theme is "Upside-Down and Backward". I took it very, very literally. Seeing what's going on should help when the clues get wacky :)

    I expect it's obvious, but the filled grid would look exactly the same flipped horizontally (upside-down) or vertically (backward).

      Great job, Barbara!

        I messed up on the water entry but did great ( and loved!) the biotin/ascorbic acid one. Go figure!😂 Nice work, Barbara!
        • BarbaraK constructor · 2024-11-21T04:32:02.819Z
          I'm impressed! I'd heard of biotin but didn't know it was vitamin H. Thanks for solving!

            Nah -- don't be! I didn't know it -- I just saw where the puzzle was going and extrapolated. Never even knew there was a vitamin H because I learned my nutritional facts from The Three Stooges: "Vitamins A, B, C, D, E, F, gee I like food!" (Curly)😄

          That was brilliantly silly. I enjoyed. I totally messed up the water entry

            Thanks! And thanks for the inspiration!

              12A was my favorite clue, thank you!

                Thank you! Glad I'm not the only one amused by my silliness :)
