Listener No 4355: Shorthand Crosses By Aragon

A lovely construction, with fairly straightforward clues. I hadn't come across the verse, and have only been able to locate the vital couplet -- if the rest of it is available I hope somebody will...

Listener No4341 What's On By Nod

This has produced a giggle but it was a tough solve until the message appeared and we are going to have to be very careful with our checking of our final grid. What an amusing and original idea. Many...

Listener 4340 Red Shift By Nudd

With Shackleton last week and now this puzzle, the Listener is finally picking up pace after a rather slow start to the year. This puzzle is fun. Straightforward fill and a pleasing endgame. Puzzles...

Listener No 4335 The Old Swan By Jago

Thank you Jago for a gentle romp. A fine curtain raiser for the Listener setters' dinner.

Listener 4332 Augeas

I love the way this is thematic. The quotation has raised a smile though I am still wondering how to make sure that letters are entered in the correct order in 'all entries'. Many thanks Augeas for a...

Listener No 4314 Renewable Energy By 'eck

What a brilliant use of the circular grid. This has been a remarkable piece of compiling and an extremely difficult puzzle which became easier as we progressed (suddenly dramatically so!)....

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...

Listener 4309: Shades Of Green By Gos

Thanks to Gos for featuring one of my favourites. I did think, though, that many of the clues were Times Cryptic (or even the easy cryptic) standard rather than Listener. It must have been hard to get...

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 4303: Qvwke Vbcfa By Nutmeg

Good fun, with sufficiently straightforward clues to render it not too challenging. I think 'across the grid' must be interpreted as 'all the way across the grid' to resolve ambiguities in entering...

Listener 4302: When All Else Fails By Ottorino

Well, I paid my subscription in the end, and a puzzle like this makes it worth while. Mind you, I don't know how anybody could complete it without an early PDM allowing almost 3/4 of the grid to be...

A Birthday -A-B-C(E-F) By Kevgar

I enjoyed that (I had a slight sense of deja vu over the theme, but if I'm right I hope nobody will give the details until after the closing date). I did it in rather an odd order. With about half the...

Listener 4287: Primed To Begin By Spud

A pretty easy solve, with clear advice coming from the extra letters. My preference is for a more formal style of invitation, but there I'm just old-fashioned. Not much else to say, really. Thank you,...
