Listener Crossword 4080

This week we have Hexes by Stick Insect. Very straighforward compared with last week's gem. I thought there was a little ambiguity with shading, which I took to be resolved by requiring symmetry in a...

Listener 4077 Forced Entry by Mr Lemon

LIstener 4074 - Printer's Devilry by Qid

This was a good mix of lots of different techniques. Progress was steady until a major PDM when I realised what the keywords were. After that it was very straightforward. I was rather uncomfortable...

Listener 4073: Quartet by MynoT

I think we have turned a corner in terms of difficulty. Another outstanding grid construction. The lack of unches made the task easier once the quotation was got, but the way it all tied in together...

Listener crossword 4071

This week's offering is "Five Dots" by Franc, which feels somewhat reminiscent of one or two of his previous puzzles. More difficult than some of the recent offerings, but sound and...

A very happy Christmas - where are you all? This was an exciting grid fill with lots of alcohol and Christmas goodies and I am delighted, though reeling and rather bemused, about what we are required...

Listener Crossword 4063 - Resident by Hotspur

Down to the final four of the year now, for those who are still in for an all correct year. (Sadly my own ambition dies some weeks ago due to a careless error of transcription.) Have not started yet,...

Listener Cross word 4058

This week's offering is Whirly-Birly by Sabre. After a run of fairly straightforward puzzles, we have what at first glance looks like a typical Sabre offering - not an "unch" in sight. So,...

Listener 4057 Inside, by Hypnos

Where is everybody? Or are you finding the wordplay as difficult as I did. This was a nice, easy grid fill and the alternatives and associatives were fun, but oh dear, did I struggle with the endgame!...

Listener Crossword 4056

This weeks offering is ROC by Loda. Thanks to my scattergun approach to clue solving, I spoiled this puzzle for myself by getting the theme after only three clues, and the nature of the curved lines...

Listener 4046: Disagreement by Stan

Enjoyable, and far less taxing than last week. No doubt the theme will not please everybody, but it's very prettily executed, with great economy and no ambiguity.
