[comp.sys.mac.games] 3 in 3

Ok, I hate to admit it after getting so far in this game, but I am
stuck, just one one puzzle from the finale.  :-(  It's in "Finder's
Keepers" where you need to make three 3 letter words out of seven
letters in a grid that looks like this:
                            ***      The letters are DOTRAX and 3,
                              *      the 3 being a wildcard.
                              ***

The first letter must be an O, X, or 3, and T can only be in the
last three slots, A in the last 5, and R in the middle 5.
Three of us have been working on this one and we just can't find
ANY three 3 letter words that will fit in the grid!  We even
considered that the X might be a Y but even with that, we still
can't find any combination that works.  Any hints appreciated!
