Hi carmalee - thanks for your explanation and well done for thinking cryptically. I no longer have the grid in front of me but recall that the answer had to be granule to connect with the other answers. Also, the definition is 'Bit', as in bit of coffee or granule, for the answer to validate. Regards, ja
