Listener 4141 : Trailblazers by Dysart

Grid fill is proceding quite quickly and smoothly, especially when compared to last week. However, I know that this will rapidly slow down as I know nothing about either the two adversaries or the...

Listener 4139: An Unsettled Spell by Nutmeg

I spent a long time staring at a grid with the source filled in and a knowledge of the letters that had slipped before I started cracking the clues. Having basically solved it in the reverse order I...

Listener 4140 "Jumping to Conclusion" by Sabre

Not even close yet: I have almost all the "outside" clues and most of the ones that start on the outside, but tracking them through the knight moves is pretty desperate at the moment. I'm...

Listener 4138: The X-factor by IOA

I looked down the list of letters thinking: no clue lengths, no clue numbers, no idea which is across or even, 26 numbers to choose from. Aargh! Luckily, once it gets going, things speed up and to a...

Listener 4137: Frightened Catherine by Ifor

An enjoyable Listener début from Ifor (although a setter that I have solved in the Magpie, EV and IQ). I was wondering why this needed to be a carte blanche as I was solving it, but the little...

Listener 4136 - Cross-reference by Nudd

Rapidly closing in on this having now got over two thirds of the grid filled, but not yet the thematic creation. I particularly liked 23D, but perhaps that's just me. A fun debut (I think). Many...

Listener 4134: Cruciverbalism by Poat

Thank you, Poat. Quite pretty, but not tough enough to keep me away from the garden for too long this fine weekend. I have to admit I had to rely on the phrase to get me started on the bottom...

No, not completed yet, but I have found the quotations and this changes from hard grind to pleasure.

Listener 4131 - Carte Blanche en Tore by Ten-Four

Easiest one of the year for me by a long chalk. Am I getting smarter, or are these Listeners getting simpler?

Listener 4129, Letters Lament by Tangram

Greetings fellow Listenerites, This should be a week free of controversy, I think. A nice solid puzzle, with the three different types of clues keeping things interesting. The two thematic grid...

Discriminating against someone with a criminal past.

Listener 4127

Has no one started a thread? Is it because people are a little bit disappointed with this one? Perhaps there is some clever twist that I haven't seen.

Listener 4125 Elementary Number Theory by Oyler

Elementary, indeed. An easily guessed theme as far as resolving the ambiguities is concerned, leading to a very quick grid fill. The most interesting thing about it was checking the statements against...
