Today’s puzzle was based on an original idea by Scott Kim. Thanks to Tom Tanaka for suggesting the idea and creating the images. Tom is an IP attorney in California and can be found on Instagram.
In fact, Tom likes to come up with words that look the same when upside down. Here’s an example, as an extra puzzle. The first word is a synonym for “Man of steel” and the second is “close companions.”
I’ll put the answer in the comments, unless someone gets there first!
I’ve been setting a puzzle here on alternate Mondays since 2015. I’m always on the look-out for great puzzles. If you would like to suggest one, email me.
