Listener Crossword No 4561 One Or The Other

Well, it took a long time for the penny to drop, not helped by a wrong entry. A neat treatment of the theme, with some tricky wordplay, including the one I got wrong and still haven't figured out...

Listener 4561 One Or The Other By Hurón

This should satisfy those who found last week's clues too easy (I wasn't one of them). A clever construction and satisfying endgame with no ambiguity, though those who submit may find it difficult to...

Listener 4560 Midsummer By Chalicea

Really? If I can finish this within an hour, with little reference to the BRB, it is not top rate Listener. I appreciate the effort that goes into the construction, and that is pretty enough. But the...

Listener No.4559 G By Xanthippe

A fantastic puzzle celebrating a memorable moment. I solved the clues quite quickly but found the long endgame quite fiddly. My only snag is that I have an "I" left over to fit in the bottom row and...

Listener No 4558

A theme we've seen before I think and one I must revisit. A record time for me and there'll probably be faster ones. On the easy side - but why not? The weather's good and a relief after that spate of...

Listener No 4557

Either the thread is hiding again or I'm up here first, which I find a bit unlikely. Either I made a complete dog's dinner of this or it was quite difficult to sort out. Devotees might be on to this...

The Listener Crossword No 4554 Duck By Vismut

We have completed the satisfying gridfill and identified the work in question but are finding the endgame less than tractable. Not thinking about it for a while is probably a good idea....

The Listener Crossword No 4553 Inscription By Dysart

Listener Crossword No. 4552 Mortality By 'eck

Can't find another thread so ... This is 'Puzzle of the Year' for me thus far; but at a price as it has been a very tough solve. The five different types of clue made for difficult solving as one had...

Listener 4550 Moving Up And Down By Ferret

Quite tough and I made very slow progress until enough of the hint appeared for the name of the song to suggest itself. The moved words were hard to spot as they were well integrated into the clues,...

Listener 4550. Moving Up &down By Ferret

Am I really first, or is the search playing up again? Fairly gentle from Ferret (for once), but only after solving one of the long Across clues. The displacements are disconcerting and a couple are...

Listener Crossword No. 4548 Brexit By Kevgar

Is the penny-drop moment actually going to be that there is in fact no solution at all that can be agreed upon?
