Listener 4331 By Loda

Well, those who have been moaning that the early ones were too easy have what they wanted here. This has been a real challenge, growing easier as it progressed, of course. We still have some ends to...

Listener 4330: Following The Brief By External

A pleasing puzzle with a neatly worded preamble. It's always pleasing to learn something along the way, so many thanks to eXternal. But we're still waiting for the first tough challenge of the year....

Listener 4322 By Radix

How sad to see the last puzzle by Radix. Of course he treats us to a range of devices. We have just found the source with a great sigh of relief but still have lots of systematic calculation to...

Times Listener No 4319

What an astonishing compilation. Ferret, I am amazed that you could construct this. Dare I say that I am also immensely grateful that 'solvers need not actually carry out the manipulation (as that...

Listener 4316: Delightful Punishment By Mynot

I've searched using several keywords but can't find another thread so ... This was a rewarding puzzle: once the penny drops you think, "yes, of course; why didn't I spot that earlier?" Many thanks...

Listener No 4315 Homer By Dysart

Very enjoyable, thanks, Dysart. I am just getting the scissors out to mutilate my grid (not as fiddly and worrying as I initially feared it might be!) Finding those ten letters missing from wordplay...

Listener No 4314 Renewable Energy By 'eck

What a brilliant use of the circular grid. This has been a remarkable piece of compiling and an extremely difficult puzzle which became easier as we progressed (suddenly dramatically so!)....

Listener 4310: Net Book Agreement By Charybdis

Oh dear ... another puzzle with straightforward clues. The endgame was more interesting, however. We must have a stinker coming up....

Listener 4309: Shades Of Green By Gos

Thanks to Gos for featuring one of my favourites. I did think, though, that many of the clues were Times Cryptic (or even the easy cryptic) standard rather than Listener. It must have been hard to get...

Listener Crossword 4307 - Spiral Of Salami And Walnuts By Wan

Listener 4302: When All Else Fails By Ottorino

Well, I paid my subscription in the end, and a puzzle like this makes it worth while. Mind you, I don't know how anybody could complete it without an early PDM allowing almost 3/4 of the grid to be...
