Piñones - June 16, 2025 - "What is this - swimming for ants?"

I do worry this one might be a tad tricky, but hoping the anagram can help sort out any straggling letters in the grid!

Instructions (best on desktop):

1. Solve the grid using the clues provided. The direction of the word is indicated by the number around the grid (so some words are backwards).
2. After you complete the grid, click the pencil icon tab at the bottom to switch over to solve the anagram. The title is a hint to the anagram!
