Hints

Hint 1:  Unlocks at 10 minutes.  Select to view hint text:
----
These look like standard clues, but for each clue, the individual words seem to have undergone some sort of transformation
----

​Hint 2:  Unlocks at 15 minutes.  Select to view hint text
----
For example, the clue:
CODNNECTEDTODHADMMERANDDSTDIRRUP (FIDVE) has a transformation rule of "Insert a D into the third position". If you undo that transformation, you should see the intended clue is CONNECTED TO HAMMER AND STIRRUP, with (FIVE) being the length of the answer word. Some of the transformations are more involved than this.

----
​
Hint 3: Unlocks at 20 minutes.  Select to view hint text
----
Perhaps taking the transformation on a clue and applying it to the answer of that clue would be interesting.
----
​
Hint 4: Unlocks at 25 minutes.  Select to view hint text
----
Using our previous example, "Connected to the hammer and stirrup" is ANVIL, and inserting a D in the 3rd position gives us ANDVIL.
----

Hint 5: Unlocks at 30 minutes.  Select to view hint text
----
The transformed answers each look like something you might find in a pill bottle, though with a little extra something. 
----

Hint 6: Unlocks at 35 minutes.  Select to view hint text
----
Each color is represented twice, except for the 2 that are only found once. Maybe that will help to order the pills.
