Listener 4858 Lavish Border By Hawk

Gosh, that was quite a workout, Hawk.

The clues were pretty evil! Fortunately, after solving just over half the clues 'cold' I was able to make progress with the grid and teased the remainder out fairly painlessly.

The endgame was neat. My artwork isn't up to much but I don't submit any longer.

Thanks, Hawk -- one of the toughest for a long time.

Thanks emcee - very kind.

Apologies if it was tougher than usual. My test solver and the Listener vetters managed it, so I thought it would be ok.

Nowhere near finishing this puzzle - about 13 clues solved and three tentatively entered.

We just thought we would at least let Hawk know that we are still trying to get to grips with this one.

Certainly the toughest puzzle that we recall.

Thanks, Hawk.

Quite a beast. Finally have a completed grid and a hint to the design. Taking a pause before embarking on a PhD on string theory and trying to make sense of the extra letters and the message from the Set B clues. Have a feeling that there is still some way to go...

Well endgame was a walk in the park by comparison. PhD on hold. Very fine puzzle. Thank you Hawk!
