Nice to have a circular one and we were given a very generous hint from the start but the very last two words we had to enter have taken almost as long as the rest of the grid fill. I have had a good...
Thanks Ed for some interesting responses here : http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/Quizzes-and-Puzzles/Question1480433.html Rather than further clutter up Smurf's thread, which has already turned into a...
A very satisfying puzzle this one, and thankfully easier to make inroads into than last week's. Everything fell into place quite quickly once I had enough answers to have a go at grid entry. I like...
Wow! After staring at the full grid for hours off and on, I finally saw one of the words...then another..and then I was done. Thanks, Elfman, for a first-rate Listener!

RofL!! The two editors are pulling our whatnots here in this joyous romp! Setters beware - we now know what they want from us. Anyhow, great fun if something of a sprint from start to finish. Many...
Sheer joy! And wholly agree with her sentiments....skilfully put together, and with many a clever clue amongst them (particularly liked 32a and 17d). As ever, gridfill speeds up after PDM and with...
I can't believe I'm the the first to post this week, so will someone tell me where I can find the real thread. Anyway, very enjoyable, and a subject that I have always enjoyed. Thanks Rasputin.

OK - can any listener/magpie solver provide me with the unch in 4d. That's all I need - one single letter. I'm no good with tennis players. By the way, if the puzzle author is on this blog, very nice...
A fine piece of craftsmanship from Schadenfreude: I especially like the fact that "altered words consist only of real words" after a few recently that have included gibberish in the finished...
In a way typical of what we expect from Dipper, although harder than recent efforts. Initially a quick start developed into a much slower finish. I enjoyed tracking down the herbs but I thought the...
My first listener from one of the Magpie team (talk about coincidences from last weeks magpie pitch). Obvious misprints made this fairly straightforward to start but tricky to finish. The theme...
Ploy gave us a relatively straightforward but interesting grid with "Signal Boxes" and it is the same this week. In fact there is more in the grid than needs to be highlighted. A very...
Earlier tis morning Gribble posted a question on the above (anagrammed) puzzle. This question has since disappeared. Before it went Quizmonkey posted a reply predicting the question's removal....
Hi, I have received an email from a guy associated with The Listener crossword. The email itself is in reference to the stats which I know most of you are well aware of as you have referred to your...
I just cannot get started on this one, can anyone please give me just one or two answers to hopefully get me started PS I understand if I don't get any replies thank you
