My first "Inq." ever, and I thoroughly enjoyed it! Highly recommended to all who are sick of the dreaded "L.", or at least of the numerical ones like today's!...

Listener 4331 By Loda

Well, those who have been moaning that the early ones were too easy have what they wanted here. This has been a real challenge, growing easier as it progressed, of course. We still have some ends to...

Listener No 4327 The Alcoholic Baseball Player By Waterloo

Hoho!! Cracker-style literary jokes from Mr Waterloo ... some suitably making one groan, others raising a broad smile: I particularly liked 40ac. Gentle romp. Happy New Year to all ABers and many...

Ev 1153

Filled the grid, found the quotation, but stuck on its interpretation. The title "The square and the compass" is relevant, but can't see beyond freemasonry, which I'm sure is irrelevant. 8 cells have...

Listener 4322 By Radix

How sad to see the last puzzle by Radix. Of course he treats us to a range of devices. We have just found the source with a great sigh of relief but still have lots of systematic calculation to...

Listener No 4315 Homer By Dysart

Very enjoyable, thanks, Dysart. I am just getting the scissors out to mutilate my grid (not as fiddly and worrying as I initially feared it might be!) Finding those ten letters missing from wordplay...

Listener 4312: Elementary Deduction By Rood

After a day when my mind has been destroyed by builders, a pick through a water pipe, and trying to find a plumber at 4pm on a Friday, I little thought I'd be the first to check in. A very fair and...

Wee Stinker 1 September

A very nice puzzle, well up to Myops's tricky best. But I'm stuck with 20D "Gumshoe" --T-Y (probably G-T-Y). The puzzle includes a large number of fictional detectives, and this looks like being an...

Listener Crossword No 4308 Sub-Prime More-Guess Relief By Ruslan

A fairly easy solve in contrast to the rather complicated preamble. I haven't tried to work out the title yet! Farewell Ruslan - you will be missed....

Listener Crossword 4307 - Spiral Of Salami And Walnuts By Wan

What a delight, on another theme about which I was previously ignorant. Would have been much tougher without the generosity of the setter. Particularly liked 33 down. Thanks Wan....

Listener 4304 Ozzie Warning

We just had our penny drop moment and, with an almost full grid, have to make sure that we enter the correct bars - quite a task, and quite a feat, Ozzie, thanks. This has been most enjoyable.

Cam 72: Emerging Writer By Schadenfreude

Another excellent puzzle by the ever-challenging Schadenfreude. There is one misprint, I believe: in 26 across the word length in brackets should be 5, not 4 (i.e. it is one of the 22 clues of the...

Oh what a challenging one. I don't know how anyone gets to the full grid (as we have just done) without the help of devices. Now we are enjoying sorting out the godly mix up. Many thanks, Stick Insect...

Ev Sunday Telegraph Enigmatic Variations 1108: Dreams By Rasputin

The main penny-drop moment came on approximately the second clue I looked at, but the endgame is certainly worth filing the grid for. Any grid packed with 60/144 cells predetermined by thematic...
