Listener No 4770 Arrangement By Tringa

I thought this was a terrific puzzle, challenging to the end, and with one of the best sets of clues for a while. Wonderful, thanks, Tringa...

Listener Crossword 4769 Path-Finding

I made greater headway with the downs than the acrosses so grid filling was slow. Having an idea of the inital letter of an answer literally gives me a head start in solving. A good mixture of clues,...

Listener 4768 A Crossword By Artix

An early PDM gave us some impetus as did the large amount of thematic material. A interesting piece of history in the final instruction. Thanks, Artix....

Listener 4767 Violin Wire By The Ace Of Hearts

Another great circular puzzle. I enjoyed solving the clues -- just pitched at the right difficulty. 32 was the final clue for me which I should have solved far quicker! Initial inroads were made in...

Listener 4764 Root 66 By Miles

Quite a challenging numerical. The first stage was odd: I felt it relied on an intuitive 'feel' for the numbers rather than the standard logical route to fix all the individual values. This, for me,...

Listener 4762 Case-Sensitive By Aedites

Another enjoyable puzzle. Not difficult to guess what was required from the word go but the thematic clues were sometimes quite tough -- reverse engineering certainly helped with some of these towards...

Listener 4761 Outside The Box By Arcadia

Another enjoyable puzzle. It wasn't as daunting as the preamble initially suggested. There was a good mix of clue difficulty -- some very straightforward, others "Sabre-esque". I particularly liked...

Listener 4760 Queen By Rebel

A superb, challenging puzzle; one which was difficult to walk away from. Clues were generally excellent (I thought 22 was a tad weak), a nice PDM and a novel endgame. Many thanks, Rebel. Well done!...

Listener 4758 - Tunnel Vision 2 By Chalicea

Well that was a tad too straightforward! Admirable construction - let's take nothing away from that. But the clues lack something, cunning perhaps, that makes for a Listener. A good one for a busy...

Listener 4757 Order, Order! By Dolas

A superb construction with a good mix of clue difficulty. In a few cases, some clues were very tough indeed which I wouldn't have been able to cold-solve. I'm afraid the "helpful message" came too...

Listener 4756 Soldier On ... By Demoniacal

This became so much easier after a few answers had been entered. Up until then it was cold solving until a pair of matching letters was obtained. End result was unambiguous. Many thanks, Demoniacal....

Listener 4752 - A Few Far Between By Nutmeg

A fairly early PDM although the final move took a while to identify. Tough but fair cluing and great fun overall. 32d almost brought us to despair but it finally gave up its secret. Thanks, Nutmeg....

Very clever puzzle. But I did have to reverse engineer from the instruction rather a lot.
