All done. Not too much brain strain, thank you very much. If anyone else is doing this, I can’t parse the wordplay for 3D. An explanation would be greatly appreciated (in a pm).

I submitted my answer to the email address on the web site and Steve Mossberg confirmed that I was correct.

Nice one! I was also puzzled by the wordplay for 3D, but I read the explanation on the website after I finished.

Fun indeed! I might compare this to a HEX variety cryptic in WSJ.
