3d 4 square (Sunday times last week?)

[Old_Geezer]

I'm glad someone knew there was a missing '?' before the 'q'.
Unless that is wrong ?

[factor-fiction]

I remember SQUARE being given as an answer earlier in the week after someone had also said it was only a 5 letter word.

[factor-fiction]

hmsganges- thanks for acknowledging our answers but you still haven't responded to our request for the clue for 3d. Have you now solved it?

[factor-fiction]

Here's the previous thread in which someone else said it was a 5 letter word Q?A?? and the answer was given as SQUARE by kayakamina (so square must have been right).

Hy Factor 30. The clue was just that. (5)

[factor-fiction]

Just what?

[Old_Geezer]

Just 5 letters ?
In which case square doesn't fit.
Qua?? presumably. Quant ?
