Listener 4097: Half-Thyme by Dipper

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...

Listener 4096: Some Assembly Required by Mr E

After part of the theme dawned on me half way through filling in the grid, i was thinking we were in for another stale ending. Luckily the ending took a fair amount of decoding, and it was very...

Listener 4085: Atom Smasher by Llig

Though there's another thread on on 4095, and I've contributed to it, this might help get the conversation started, though I suspect not a long one. There really isn't much to this (sorry Llig, and...

Listener 4094: Wet Wet Wet by Lato

A much bigger challenge, I thought this week, with some very clever plays involved in creating the group members. Lots of lovely pennies dropping all the way through. I'd be interested to see how soon...

Listener Crossword 4093 Times Group by Colleague

Another Friday, another Listener and another new setter (or is it). After a very straightforward grid fill, I shall now retire for a glass of something to consider the preamble. These easy fills are...

Listener 4092 Misprinted Auditions by Bufo

An entertaining puzzle, much less difficult than it might appear at first glance. Thanks, Bufo

Listener 4090 Refrain by Dysart

An evocative theme from our childhood this week and some very ingenious clues. Tougher than last week, we thought.

Listener 4089 Vive la Difference by Kevin

A very pleasant and enjoyable debut by Kevin. Some nice clues and a familiar theme which made me realise how quickly time passes. Possibly suitable for newcomers, but personally, I think that 32D is a...

Listener 4088 - Digimix by Oyler

Well, thank goodness we have a long weekend. I think I might need that to work out what the blazes the clues mean! I had one theory, but the rubric that all entries are different turned me towards a...

Listener 4087 Double Shuffling and Dealing by Auctor

We have found the clues a step up in difficulty from previous ones and had to go to the Internet for the quotation. Certainly not a puzzle for newcomers this week!

Listener 4086: Back Gate by Tiburon

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...

Listener 4084: Oh Yes It Does! by BeRo

This is fun, possibly a good introduction to the Listener genre for newcomers, without compromising quality. There are still some words no-one could be expected to know out of there usual vocab, but...

Listener 4083: Not as Mad as It Sounds? by Bandmaster

At first the high proportion of short words is a bit daunting - but for the most part the clues are fair, even if in one instance a little vulgarity (in my and Chambers' opinion) creeps in. A good...

Listener Crossword 4082

This is a terrific technical challenge, with some fine and fair cluing. It made my head spin towards the end, and I suspect transcription into the final grid is going to be particularly prone to...

Listener 4081 Double Cross by Radix

Listener 4081 Double Cross by Radix - Two for the price of one this week. Certainly lives up to its title!

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 Crossword 4079

This week's offering is Sine Qua Non by Shackleton. No one should panic that I have finished it already - I've only just read the preamble and feel the need for a lie down in a darkened room. No doubt...

Listener 4078: The Fragmentation of Reality by Lavatch

This one's a gem: don't be put off by the complex instructions or that fearsome 65,536 possible combinations: It all comes out well in the end. Good, fair clues, some lovely PDM's, and a satisfying...

Listener 4076: Labour by Elint

Tough debut by Elint this week. Very good surface readings with definitions not always directly linked in Chambers, which I felt made it tougher. I was only mentioning a few weeks back that with the...
