Wow!!!! What service.

Thank you all so much, you are all stars.

The logic behind 3d is as follows: a dampness = A MUST Also AS = when. Now raise (reverse) and you get SATSUMA

Thanks crofter, I'm not sure I would have worked that one out without help.

That's what I thought Ameida. I believe that sorting out the logic is all part of the challenge (and the fun)!
