Can anyone reveal what the solution to the Festive Code was? I'm sure TheWinner would also like to know:

Thanks Etch, can't wait......

Hope this helps! The secret key word in Dec 2022 Compers News was DISCOVERY (page 10). This apparently decoded the puzzle sequence as TWO WINDOWS. This clue then identified the ASDA gift card, which featured a house with two windows. It seems 37 people got the correct answer! Not me as I didn't even know where to start with this puzzle!

Thank you May54. I would never have solved that as we didn't have access to the publication and that's why we found it so hard to help.

Thanks May54. I reckoned the key word had to include Y, because otherwise this letter would just map onto itself in the coded word, but I didn't look at key words longer than 8 letters.
