Colourful character highlighting a feast

[TheWinner]

how many letters? any placed? 

[Lie-in King]

TheWinner - it's not a crossword as such, you need to fill a numbered grid with the numbered letters in the answers.

That said, this clue is (3,6)

[Lie-in King]

Red letter (?)

(thanks for the info LIK)

No problem, TW.

Floe47, the puzzle you're working on isn't one of the Prize puzzles - just in case you didn't know 🙂

Thank you, Lie-in King and Mark. I don't know if you can see my response here as I can't see how to respond to your replies! However, I do love The Ladygrams that offer a further twist to cryptic crosswords. I had thought of Red Letter but wasn't sure that this constituted "a feast". I do know that the first word will begin with R so Red Letter might do the trick!

p.s. you responded to us correctly, but there is no Mark. This is confusing for newbies to AB. "Mark as best answer" means you are "marking" that answer as "the best".

Thank you!
