Listener No 4655 Goosey, Goosey By Malva

I love jigsaw puzzles so this was perfect for me. Solvers familiar with Malva know what to expect, but, for me at least, it is still always entertaining. I particularly liked the suggestion by the...

Listener 4654 Unicycle By Remus

Simple, even compared to a few we've had recently - but an excellent entry-level challenge for anyone who fancies a shot at The Listener. The theme has been visited many times, but is nicely...

Listener No 4653 Descent By Gnomish

That was good fun. I thought it was going to be a real stinker until I twigged the theme; I found some of the clues for the jumbles very tough. It didn’t exactly collapse when the theme became clear,...

Listener No 4652 8 X 8 By Phi

I love this type of puzzle. Unfortunately, I was enjoying it so much I forgot to put dinner in the oven! I thought the clash might give me trouble, as they often do, but I found this one without too...

Listener Crossword No. 4650 Two Names By Deuce

No thread started according to my search. More straightforward than last week's puzzle -- but that wouldn't be difficult. I thought the clues were quite easy and the first name is clear enough. The...

Listener 4649 Get Weaving By Paddock

That was a workout and a half! Despite initial reservations that this was going to be a slog, I really enjoyed it. I'll admit I "solved" most of the across clues by reverse engineering from potential...

Listener 4648 - Not One - Nudd

Listener 4646 Life By Hawk

I found the clues tough to the point of annoyance in the early stages, but it became easier as the thematic material revealed itself. I find this way of presenting the clues adds the extra obstacle of...

Radio Times Enigma Puzzles

Does anyone know if similar puzzles are available online? I enjoy doing them but I am not sure that Enigma is the proper term for them. In case you don't know, it is a crossword without traditional...

Listener No 4645 Fire Alarms By Chen

I am not sure it that was an easy grid fill or if I am just on the setter’s wavelength! Very enjoyable solve in any case, with some wonderful misleading wordplay. I don’t recognise the setter’s name,...

Listener 4644 Symbols By Aedites

A jigsaw grid with entries of uncertain length, and no long answers to help us get started. Is that not one obstacle too many? I certainly thought so after I'd solved all but four of the clues and not...

Listener 4643 - Systematic By Dave

An excellent (and far from easy) puzzle - even after spotting the theme it was tricky to find the correct entries which needed adjustment. Some nice clues too - with very tricky parsing to be done to...

Listener 4642 Music Box By Tnap

I have searched extensively, but that doesn't mean there isn't a previous thread lurking that search can't find. I'll just say that I found this hard work, and add more if this really is the first...
