Listener No. 4343: Bear, Bear, Bearing By Chalicea

A fairly typical Chalicea puzzle: nice use of theme, clues not too challenging (though I struggled for a while to find the extra letters in some of the mid-range down clues). A very pleasant exercise:...

Listener 4341: What's On? By Nod

An entertaining puzzle, even if the device has appeared in various guises before. A clever way, though, of diminishing the usefulness of intersecting lights. Good clues, with many of the inserted...

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 4328: Reductio Ad Absurdum By Stick Insect

The title just about sums up my feelings about this one: sorry, Stick Insect, but I was hardly into gear before I finished. Perhaps we'll see a few newcomers to the Listener fold encouraged by an...

Listener 4325, Christmas Break By Poat

The theme has had a lot of exposure recently, but that does not detract from this delightful treatment by Poat. All comes together in a most pleasing way....

Listener 4320: Shrive By Llig

What my old maths master would have described as "one for the rabbits", but enjoyable nevertheless. Thanks, Llig....

Polymath 783

Beware: the on-line grid is wrong. 12, 13, 26 and 29 across have the lengths given in the clues, but the black squares separating the lights are misplaced....

Listener 4313: Weak Force By Tut

Quite a straightforward offering from Tut, with an easy endgame. Fun, though, and a subject I am fond of....

Listener 4312: Elementary Deduction By Rood

After a day when my mind has been destroyed by builders, a pick through a water pipe, and trying to find a plumber at 4pm on a Friday, I little thought I'd be the first to check in. A very fair and...

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 4305: Not A Blocked Grid By Lavatch

Another excellent construction. The top right corner held me up for a while, but once the penny dropped I could sit back and admire Lavatch's skill -- many thanks....

Listener 4303: Qvwke Vbcfa By Nutmeg

Good fun, with sufficiently straightforward clues to render it not too challenging. I think 'across the grid' must be interpreted as 'all the way across the grid' to resolve ambiguities in entering...

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...

Cam 72: Emerging Writer By Schadenfreude

Another excellent puzzle by the ever-challenging Schadenfreude. There is one misprint, I believe: in 26 across the word length in brackets should be 5, not 4 (i.e. it is one of the 22 clues of the...

Listener 4300: 22 Across By Calmac

I suppose it had to come -- I mean both the theme and an easy one after a few gems. I am sure there could have been something more exciting by way of an end-game, but thanks anyway, Calmac....

One of those frustrating ones where the last four clues took as long to sort out as the rest of the clues and the theme altogether. Apart from those four, it was all pretty clear, so thanks Ifor. I...

Listener 4292: Going Out In Style By Homer

That was quite a work-out. I admit to firing up the spreadsheet to help with the sorting, and once I'd got the theme and saw what had to be revealed I left a few loose ends till this morning. Some...
