What a pleasure to have a straightforward puzzle that we could manage. This one was a pleasure from start to finish and great for us relative newcomers. I am glad there is one like this now and then -...
The dreaded numbers. Googly was last seen in November 2006 with Solve Two, Get One Free. I enjoyed this. Not too much heavy duty calculator work, and it all fell smoothly into place. Cheers, Googly
"Pleasant" debut by Parsnip and great for newcomers to the Listener world. One of the easiest of the year so far with several anagrams to get started. [email protected] if you...
With the thought that I failed on Poat's last 2 listeners, I knew we would be in for some tough clues. Excellent construction, clues (although i havent worked the wordplay out on a couple yet) and a...
I wonder how people are getting on with this one. I found that all but one of the "normal" clues fell in fairly quickly, but now I'm staring at an almost-full grid with no idea how to progress. Any...
Enjoyable, and far less taxing than last week. No doubt the theme will not please everybody, but it's very prettily executed, with great economy and no ambiguity.
An exquisite construction by Kea, with a very pretty ending. I found myself making some wild stabs based on the definitions and then working back to the misprinted wordplay before it all fell into...
This week's puzzle is by Raich, who last brought us "Men In Her Life", a George Eliot-themed puzzle two years ago . Nothing too taxing or out of the ordinary here, though the finish might generate a...
Not too difficult a challenge this week, but I found the highlighting a little disappointing because of the lack of symmetry: a time-invariant version, omitting the central symbol, would have allowed...
A little later than usual getting started with this. Initially I found this a bit of a slog, but once the theme emerged, it all fell into place quite quickly. All in all, an enjoyable solve, but I...
I am pretty sure there are no ambiguities with Samuel's effort this time! An enjoyable finish, even though many of the extra letters in the clues stood out very blatantly. This type of cluing is hard...
As I've been told yet again by the Answerbank that I have not been on line recently (wrong) I will start this thread! This week's offering is S by Hedge-sparrow.
Morning! (or should I say that in French?) This weeks listener is "Half a Dozen" by Nibor Tough one this week to fill the grid because the inserted letters are randomly placed. Liked it because it was...
Evening all. I hope you don't mind me setting the ball rolling this week. This week's puzzle is by Lavatch and has another hefty preamble. Good luck everyone...
Greetings to all. I was fortunate in having some free time this evening to enjoy this excellent offering from Elfman. Some excellent &lit clues here, I thought. When I recognised the verse, I had to...
