Given the card with the code to be cracked (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

accorded

'given' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'the card with the code to be cracked' is the wordplay.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'to be cracked' indicates an anagram.
'card'+'code'='cardcode'
'cardcode' with letters rearranged gives 'ACCORDED'.

(Another definition for accorded that I've seen is " given".)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
