Is the prize awarded for the crossword or for counting the number of letter "a's" there are?

IMO, it must be the number of 'A's - if you text or phone the answer in, they'd never see the grid you've completed.

Thanks LIK, I suspected that, they have taken away the fun of doing that crossword.
Hi Caran - I stopped sending it a long time ago & hadn't realised the conditions had changed :-)

???^^^^ Surely you still need to do the xword to get the number of A's
Yes Baldric, but you no longer have to send the grid in (although you can), you can text or phone the number of 'A's instead

I must admit I haven't seen it for ages, OH always does that one!
So, if someone came on here asking "How many As in this weeks You Crossword?", would they get an answer?
just a thought

When they first changed this from winning the crossword alone to counting the number of A's and only phoning or texting, there was such an outcry they reversed it. I thought it meant you got a prize for completing the grid, but no they just allow you to send in the grid with the counted a's on.
