Listener 4764 Root 66 By Miles

Listener 4751. Instruction By Oyler.

Very clever puzzle. But I did have to reverse engineer from the instruction rather a lot.

The Listener Crossword 4712 - Sequences By Elap

As ever with the numericals it's finding an initial toehold that's most tricky but then everything worked out logically. Always surprised to get through the gridfill for one of these without having to...

Listener 4686 Dice Nets By Arden

Either a) I haven't found the right thread, b) folks have found this one difficult, or c) nobody bothers reviewing numericals any more. I had a brief conversation on Twitter with a numericals-hater...

Listener 4516 - A Defter Premier By Arden

Listener 4451 Numerical Playfair By Zag

Typical Zag, original concept. Not my cup of tea (but then numericals aren't), but appreciate the way it was constructed to an unambiguous gridfill.
