Listener 4162 Carte Blanche with a Twist by Mash

Judging from the dearth of postings, others are also finding this less than a walkover - pretty much as foretold. I'm still working on paragraph one of the preamble and an odd assortment of answers....

Listener 4156 V by Parsnip

Listener 4151: Number or Nummer by Ruslan

Tricky start to this numerical with a preamble that initially confused me as I misunderstood what was going to be English and German. I now have all the letters, a completed left hand grid and the two...

Listener 4146 What it Says by Waterloo

A pretty straightforward solve this week, as 6 or 8 cold solves revealed the likely method of entry. But, a well constructed puzzle, and a nice break after last week's brainbuster. Thank you Waterloo,...

Listener 4138: The X-factor by IOA

I looked down the list of letters thinking: no clue lengths, no clue numbers, no idea which is across or even, 26 numbers to choose from. Aargh! Luckily, once it gets going, things speed up and to a...

Not even close yet: I have almost all the "outside" clues and most of the ones that start on the outside, but tracking them through the knight moves is pretty desperate at the moment. I'm...

Listener 4137: Frightened Catherine by Ifor

An enjoyable Listener début from Ifor (although a setter that I have solved in the Magpie, EV and IQ). I was wondering why this needed to be a carte blanche as I was solving it, but the little...
