Re: Codeword 1814 Mon 3 11
Is there any explanation as to why the grid I printed yesterday morning has totally changed? Using the original grid I was left looking for a word that was spelt HECDSYW in the SW corner and for the life of me couldn’t find it anywhere! Sloppy work that man!
I have to confess that I’ve only just seen this, Dave, but I managed to complete the puzzle without the clue as the checking letters gave only one option [as far as I could see at the time]. It appears from the clues above that I was right and, as an aside, my cursor is now blinking again as I type this comment which perhaps indicates that the weather has turned warmer…
The snow on the blog stopped at midnight – back again next Christmas!
Hello Spindrift, I’ve just seen your note about Codewords.
Apologies for the glitch that affected the bottom left corner of the online Codewords for about three days that week. It has been fixed.
Sorry for any inconvenience caused.
