Steam?

[Quizmonkey]

Sorry that doesn't work! Can't see where the E comes from...

[Quizmonkey]

Are you sure it's not teams - then it's a straightforward anagram

[Baldric]

Speed (drugs) = E ?

[Quizmonkey]

Speed is not E! No, I think it was mistyped.

[Baldric]

I know it isn't, it's Ecstasy, but you have the Drug connection with speed

[dannyk13]

I agree with Quizmonkey. Probably a typo.

[Quizmonkey]

It also comes AFTER the definition and has no indication to include it within the anagram

[galasalmon]

Thanks . It is teams , should have checked what I wrote as sometimes it misses letters I have put , maybe not pressing hard enough.
