First time I've managed to get to grips with a Listener crossword. Having problem with last two answers 9a Old Vatican Coins stop in ancient Buddhist language (5) ?A?LI Assuming answer may be Pauli...
Well, tough again. A couple of times I was stuck for a way forward only to find that a clue only leads to a fraction of the legitimate answers expected and a nice interplay of clues and deductions on...
Good and bad news for this "can do sometimes but not always" solver: got the grid and themes of both the easier than usual Listener ("Optics") and the possibly harder than usual EV ("Scarcity")....
I thoroughly enjoyed this. A classic Listener in a way and challenging enough too in parts; excellent tricky clues involving the switching of words and a theme I wasn't familiar with gradually and...
Lots of people are having trouble finding it. If you go onto the HOME page of the crossword club site and scroll down to The Listener, you can find it there.
I can't be the first, surely? I can't remember when I last sat in front of a Listener for so long with so little idea of what was going on. My first trawl through the clues produced virtually nothing...
I've tried searching but there doesn't seem to be a thread in existence. So ... This was another great crossword which has rounded off a superb year for the Listener puzzle. I thought the clues were...
An interesting treatment of a theme that I happened to come across not 4 hours ago, which certainly helped in identifying what was going on. This felt like a classic solid Listener, with plenty...
A skilful implementation of a delightful theme. I found the clues incredibly tough, especially where clashes were involved, and spent almost as long getting the last few answers as I did on the rest...
A gentler one this week after last week's humdinger. I enjoyed this; the penny drop and endgame was quite satisfying so thanks to Ottorino. Thanks also for educating me with something I never knew...
This was pretty tough. I have three of the five characters, so i hope it's just a matter of time and that I can shortly get back to listening and not listener. Highly engrossing - many thanks to...
Hmm... I have the values of all but five variables but now find one of them has to be 100. Does anyone know if there are any misprints as all the other values 'hang together'. Nothing on The Listener...
I am a beginner when it comes to the Listener, so please excuse my stupidity. Can anyone explain to me why, in some clues, the the spaces in the grid are at odds withe the number of letters stated in...
Most accomplished: tricky devices, clever clues, excellent title, and all the thematic stuff does (eventually) fit together most neatly. If this is a Listener debut, then it's one of the best for some...
