Listener 4614 - From Here To There By Shenanigans

Another odd one here. There were some terrific clues, and enough entries to get in quickly. The moving words were nicely done, and none too obvious. I really enjoyed the solve, and a nice PDM as 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 4550

I thoroughly enjoyed this. A classic Listener in a way and challenging enough too in parts; excellent tricky clues involving the switching of words and a theme I wasn't familiar with gradually and...

Listener 4538 Joint Conditions By Awinger

I really enjoyed this one, the theme revealed itself early enough to be a great help in dealing with clashes. Lots and lots of thematic material throughout. Nice to see a new setter too - thanks...

Listener Crossword 4524 - A Little Night Music By Hedge-Sparrow

A delightful puzzle that is typical of this setter. Not too difficult but always entertaining - a characteristic that is often overlooked. Thanks Hedge-sparrow

Listener 4519: X By Schadenfreude

Pencil sharpened, letters entered. Puzzle done. This approach seems to work! The finish was intriguing and the clues were OK, although I wasn't totally convinced by the approach that Schadenfreude...

Listener 4501 - Two Solutions By Quinapalus

After being too tired to make much progress on this last night, I made the most of a delayed flight this morning and got there in the end (in both senses!). This was a clever construction, with mostly...

Listener Crossword 4499 Silent Movie By Elfman

I haven't been able to find another thread so here goes ... I thought this was quite a straightforward offering this week; the clues didn't take too long to solve. There will be some argument about...

Listener 4497: 'catechism' By Tnap

The clue-solving was tough work in places and I spent an age somewhat baffled ... but a nice couple of PDMs brought it all to an enjoyable conclusion. Thanks tnap :-)

Listener 4495: An Exchange Of Letters By Harribobs

A clever treatment of, for me, an unfamiliar theme. It's scarcely possible to believe that the letter changes in the grid can exist and give the required text. I really liked several of the across...

Listener 4493 - Devilry By Nutmeg

All done (bar, if I'm honest, resolving one PD clue, albeit I am certain of the entry). I found the gridfill pretty tough going and, to my surprise, the PD clues seemed to fall more easily than the...

Listener 4489 Ocean-Going Vessel

Am I truly first? Loved this one, and have just finally nailed my last replacement. Quick, but very clever.

Listener 4488

A fairly gentle workout after the rigours of the last weeks but highly enjoyable nonetheless. Steady progress by trial and error after the first grid entry leads to a neat endgame. Many thanks to...

Hmm. Mixed emotions for me. An intriguing effort that revealed itself fairly quickly. Not enamoured with 22A, 28D or 31D....

Listener 4484 Quiet Guests By Schadenfreude

An absolutely first-rate puzzle to start the year. I felt smug having got the basis of the theme from the first "crowded cell" I came across along with the title, but then there was the small matter...

A new setter, I believe and he really presented us with a challenge. I dislike Playfair almost as much as jumbles and am really happy that there are programmes that help on line. What a relief when we...

Quite surprised to be the first one here. A daunting preamble for sure, but I decided just to start solving and see where it got me. A lovely series of penny drops later, a satisfying solve. Thanks...
