Listener 4810 Cognitive Dissidence By Vagans

An interesting puzzle. Some of the adjusted theme words were, perhaps, slightly contrived. On the whole, I thought it was very entertaining. Many thanks, Vagans.

Listener 4804 Bucking Convention By Flowerman

I thought the clues were set at the ideal level of difficulty -- difficult but not so fiendish as to lose the all-important enjoyment factor. The endgame is curious; no problem with the final bits... ...

Listener 4802 Reset By Awinger

Another brilliant puzzle. Super neat in construction and a lovely endgame. Fortunately the clues were not too difficult -- just as well as, had the corrections been more fiendishly disguised, it... ...

Well, after last week's offering any puzzle will seem easy. A neat idea well implemented. Pretty much impossible to get to the 12 special entries until the quotation had been obtained. Some of one... ...

Listener 4786 Jigsaw By Xanthippe

A nice puzzle. I loved the idea of the answers representing pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. Fortunately the Across and Down clues were generously straightforward otherwise cold-solving all of the... ...

Listener 4777 No 21 By Child's Play

An excellent puzzle. I enjoyed the first stage of the problem as logic was required throughout rather than testing umpteen possibilities. The gridfill was quicker than anticipated and there is no...

Listener 4773 Cheesy By Deuce

I thought the gridfill was OK. Many of the clues were pretty straightforward allowing a well-timed PDM to resolve the difficulties and confirm the theme. The two unclued entries were fine once the...

Listener 4771 In Vino Veritas By Raven

Well that was the toughest (and best) of the year so far by a country mile. I don't remember clues where the wordplay leads to anagrams of the answer before. It was quite tough in a few cases to...

Listener 4767 Violin Wire By The Ace Of Hearts

Another great circular puzzle. I enjoyed solving the clues -- just pitched at the right difficulty. 32 was the final clue for me which I should have solved far quicker! Initial inroads were made in...

Listener 4764 Root 66 By Miles

Quite a challenging numerical. The first stage was odd: I felt it relied on an intuitive 'feel' for the numbers rather than the standard logical route to fix all the individual values. This, for me,...

Listener 4760 Queen By Rebel

A superb, challenging puzzle; one which was difficult to walk away from. Clues were generally excellent (I thought 22 was a tad weak), a nice PDM and a novel endgame. Many thanks, Rebel. Well done!...

Listener 4757 Order, Order! By Dolas

A superb construction with a good mix of clue difficulty. In a few cases, some clues were very tough indeed which I wouldn't have been able to cold-solve. I'm afraid the "helpful message" came too...
