Reveal: As in “Swap Paws” there are several words in the grid when spelled backwards make a different word- 1A = ILE, 18A = PACER, 23A = REGAL, 29A = EVIAN, 39A = FIRES, 47A = ETALS, 53A = REMIT, 61A = PARCS, 70A = IMA. The first letters of these words spell out I PREFER PI. Sorry if the meta prompt had you STRESSED (DESSERTS).
