7d Is - PICK in the grid but you need to change it with the others to get 6 letters to make a word that links all your new ones.
Question Author
Thanks again! But what a nightmare for me! I have been changing PICK with the other words without arriving at words that are satisfactorily synonymous with the others! I am now begging for just one worked- out example with PICK and another word, and then I should be able to work out the rest on my own! Many thanks in advance!
Blur becomes Blue

Blown becomes Brown

as said previously

PICK becomes Pink

PREEN becomes Green

I'm sorry if you aren't seeing a link yet.
Lets recap

In the crossword grid you should have -

Preen
Pick
Blur
Blown
Ember
Marion

Change those six , as in the 4 examples given already to make 6 new words.

The changes you make involve one letter per word ,use those 6 letters to make another connecting word.

Mamyalynne, I thank you for you great patience. I was just not thinking in terms of colour, though, in hindsight, the words themselves suggested this.The word genera now falls perfectly into place! Whew, I am quite abashed at being so colour blind! Thanks again for your patience! Do have a great Sunday! I think the canicule here in Rodez, France, and the excitement of the Tour de France have addled my brain somewhat!
Try


Orange
Question Author
Oh là là, yes, I see the maroon now! Better late than never! It all connects nicely now! Thanks again! Back to the Tour de France!
Rahhhh!!

I am trying to parse this one, but cannot see the rationale for the answer. Any help, please?

12a Precisely where restaurant should be to show class ( 5, two words ):
IN SUM

Many thanks in advance!
In s(trat)um - 'trat(toria)' is "in sum" to get 'stratum' (class)

Many thanks, Lie-in King, for the explanation!
