    Great as always Sam! Can you please explain 3D, just can't get it lol
    • Strom 🤓17:39 · 2024-10-15T19:09:15.019Z
      I'm also a little stuck on that. After the fact, my guess is UNISON without S (south)

        Oh I think you're right! I was thinking "Harmony" was the definition but that makes sense, thanks!

          That's what I was going for! In retrospect I think it was a bit vague, I'm not sure 'direction' is enough of an indicator for S. Thanks for solving!

            I actually think it's one of the more clear clues! Definitely seen 'direction', 'way', 'point' etc. for compass points a few times
