Based on the title or the flavor text (cluing TACOCAT), or just from solving a few of the clues, solvers will notice that all the answers to this puzzle’s clues are palindromes, or words that read the same forwards and backwards. The answers are:
- Aoxomoxoa
- Mom
- Ere
- Racecar
- Level
- Pep
- Nauruan
- Omo
- Bib
- Solos
- Sis
- Tot
- Minim
Each of these palindromes is an odd number of letters in length, with a single unrepeated letter in the middle. Reading each of these middle letters in order gives MORE VERMILLION, which is a clue phrase cluing another palindrome, REDDER.
