Bernie, I don't do this crossword but I just wonder have you letters printed on your codeword, mine is blank, no prompt letters. if you have could you share them here with me please, many thanks Éan

[Bernie]

Eancoil. No my code word is blank. I was going to try work it out (clue given is :colour) I was going to try and work something but I think it could be a lot of work. Disappointed they changed crosswords. Good luck

[eanceoil]

Thanks for clue to Codeword the only reason I buy this paper is for the crosswords etc they are always making blunders and changing the address for entries , but will persevere until I win!!
