Unfortunately, Steven, that won't work - you forgot to invert the brackets. And no, switching them won't work: ]yɘʞ[ = mydict You need to have actual backward brackets so Python knows you want to iterate backward through the dictionary, starting with the last value and proceeding to the first index.
