thank you so much grasscarp-your persistence is very much appreciated, although if like us you've got 6-7ins of snow outside you are probably glad to get your teeth into some quizzes.Judging by the rest of the answers, the 4 in the answer is probably blue, but this clue is more complicated because the 3 letters could possibly be the word red, or who knows, liked you,ve sussed in your answer, the 8 letter word contains the word white./ red /blue I think I am still open to suggested answers , if anyone else wants to reply,but this one is proving to be very difficult, and once again, thank you for your reply.
