Devon Trail Trouble

If you had trouble solving a Trail, check the list below to see if your problem has been reported before.

When a problem has been reported we fix the Trail immediately, but if your Trail was bought some time ago, your copy will still have the old clue. However to allow you still to enter the competition, the answer to the clue is shown below.

Devon has now introduced a Trail Trouble Hotline. By calling 07938 954 736 you will hear a recorded message listing any Trail Trouble in Devon & the answer for the affected clue.

PLEASE NOTE:
IF YOUR TRAIL DOES NOT HAVE THE ANSWER LISTED BELOW ON ITS ANSWER PAGE, THEN THE TRAIL HAS ALREADY HAD A NEW CLUE SET AND IS UNAFFECTED BY TRAIL TROUBLE.

The overall solution to a Trail is never affected.
