Good morning, Dannyk13, anything to share from the Monday offering of the Telegraph? Many thanks in advance!

Here is the puzzle.Not my cup of tea.


Prize puzzle of the week

Each week we'll bring you one or more exclusive puzzles that you won't find anywhere else; the solutions will be in next week's newsletter.



PlusWord
Solve the crossword, then use letters in the shaded squares to complete the additional PlusWord. A letter in a green square appears in the same column in the PlusWord as it does in the crossword; a letter in a yellow square appears in the PlusWord, but in a different column than it does in the crossword.

There is only one possible answer for the PlusWord; it may be that the PlusWord contains letters that aren't found in the crossword, but it can always be worked out logically and without guessing.





Across

1 Comprehend
6 Broadcasting
7 Ted ____, US comedy series
8 Group of eight things
9 Technique


Down

1 Single-person performances
2 Decree
3 Grotty
4 Rope fibre
5 Wear down

Many thanks, dannyk13, this looks like an interesting teaser, but without the grid, it would be quite difficult. I still do not understand why the Telegraph no longer sends me the Newsletter. I'll write to them again to see what is the cause of this.
