Listener 4049: The Domino Effect by Googly

The dreaded numbers. Googly was last seen in November 2006 with Solve Two, Get One Free. I enjoyed this. Not too much heavy duty calculator work, and it all fell smoothly into place. Cheers, Googly

Listener 4048: Rules of Construction by Poat

With the thought that I failed on Poat's last 2 listeners, I knew we would be in for some tough clues. Excellent construction, clues (although i havent worked the wordplay out on a couple yet) and a...

Listener 4,047: Cut Out by Lato

I wonder how people are getting on with this one. I found that all but one of the "normal" clues fell in fairly quickly, but now I'm staring at an almost-full grid with no idea how to progress. Any...

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.

Listener 4045: Admission by Kea

An exquisite construction by Kea, with a very pretty ending. I found myself making some wild stabs based on the definitions and then working back to the misprinted wordplay before it all fell into...

Listener 4042: How to Put On a Little Weight by Charybdis

A while since Charybdis' last Listener (The difficult "Wot no Lines?" in 2007) The grid fill here is much easier, and the quotation was got only after 12 entries. We are left with an ambiguity that...

Listener 4040: In Shock by Hubris

Not too difficult a challenge this week, but I found the highlighting a little disappointing because of the lack of symmetry: a time-invariant version, omitting the central symbol, would have allowed...

Listener Crossword 4039 - Intimacy by Bandmaster

A little later than usual getting started with this. Initially I found this a bit of a slog, but once the theme emerged, it all fell into place quite quickly. All in all, an enjoyable solve, but I...
