Listener No. 4453: Army & Navy By Shackleton

I made heavy weather of this at first, and admired the way some of the misprints were quite deviously hidden. I was lucky in the end-game, spotting a likely anagram which turned out to be correct: I'm...

What a fabulous puzzle by Oyler and a superb tribute to the original Rhombus - delightful. I sat in trepidation when checking that the perimeter values were perfect squares - and was relieved to find...

We really struggled with the method of entry until the message helped us. Thank you to Schadenfreude for a really challenging first puzzle of the year.

Listener No. 4430: G&s By Pilcrow

Good fun, if not enormously taxing. I have to admit never having seen the point of the other work, and I'm not a great fan of the method of submission, but neither detracted from my enjoyment of the...

Listener No. 4428: Classic Fm Track By Aelfre

A nice brief escape from reality, not at all frightening. A good one for beginners at the Listener. Many thanks, Aelfre. Main problem is going to be writing small enough!

Listener No 4424: Fieldwork By Ferret

I was a bit later than usual getting started (shopping -- AARGH!) so was glad to find a reasonably straightforward puzzle from Ferret. Thank you, that was fun....

Apologies if I've missed the thread ... but I'm hoping there's a misprint in 5 down. Surely it should be ZJTT?...

Listener No 4422: Buried Treasure By Poat

Sod's law dictated that the last couple of clues that resisted my attack included clashes, so I had to resort to reverse logic from a guess at the instruction to nail those. It took me a while to get...

Listener No. 4421: Post-It Note By Tramp

Another entertaining puzzle, with nice treatment of the thematic elements. Nothing too challenging, but the extra words were quite smoothly integrated into the clues. I must do some checking, to see...

Could there possibly be errors in the C Down section of the online grid. I' m thinking particularly of 26 and 32 down - or have I misunderstood it?

Listener 4408 Serpent

The theme leapt out at us when we had solved just a couple of clues, but this has not rendered this any less enjoyable. With a full grid, we still have to get the pencils out to draw the thematic...

Nice straightforward clues, so a fairly quick grid fill, with totally unambiguous instructions to follow for the endgame. I had come across the theme before, and I thought this was a very neat...

Whew!! Actually, the first Playfair was not too bad, as a code phrase that long tends to lead to a bunch of letters left over that, as long as one or two of them appear in the hints, help a lot. I...

Listener No. 4402: Right And Wrong By Tnap

Very satisfying. Some very good clues with some neatly hidden misprints. I'd forgotten that quotation, and was delighted to be reminded of it. Early on I thought there was going to be an ambiguity,...

Listener No. 4401: Literal Spling By Waterloo

That was fun -- quite a quick solve, but I liked the idea. The one slight niggle I have is that the literal spling has not been 100% carried out -- unless I've made mistakes in at least two entries....

Listener 4400: Three Steps To Heaven By Dysart

I'm not really surprised that no one has posted yet, as this was something of a toughie. I think that I have it all now (at least I have a grid that fulfills the requirements). At first I thought that...
