This letter grid for mirror-flashed code (from The Girl of Ghost Mountain by Joseph Allan Dunn, 1921) can serve as a Boggle puzzle.
We found several five-letter words relating to: an obstinate person; a collector of dirty water; a swelling protuberance; a portable illumination; another word for "cusk"; a second growth of hay in one season; a monetary unit replaced by the forint; and a plate for consecrated bread.
Here are all 18 words we think are contained within the grid (including archaic ones). Highlight the black to reveal the text: bigly, bigot, bilge, bilgy, bulge, bulgy, glims, gowks, newly, oaten, paten, pengo, rowen, torch, torsk, works, wrote, zorch

Attleboro Odlox writes:
I found "clonings" as my first word and that was enough of an achievement to earn me three hours of bad television. Or so I rationalized. If cloning is not there, don't tell me. I didn't click on the answers. As soon as I saw I-N-G-S I knew the God of the Grid wouldn't be so cruel as to give us that convenient coda without providing at least one word to pin it to.
Nada writes:
Are gabions the elemental particles of insubstantial talk?
Prof. Oddfellow responds:
Good call, Nada!
