I can't find another thread even though this puzzle has taken me 15 hours over two days. So here goes. I have never spent this long on any crossword - not even when I started with the Listener 25...

Thank you Chalicea - a very pleasant solve, with plenty of entertaining clues and an unambiguous ending.

Listener 4673 Chessboard Carte Blanche By Hedgehog

An unusual, but not difficult numerical. Once I'd broken through, the chessboard restriction made the solution easily accessible with pen and paper, which is exactly how a numerical should be - thanks...

Listener 4672 Form..ation By Mr E

A very enjoyable extra word puzzle, made challenging by excellent clues throughout - thanks, Mr E! The endgame is not difficult to spot, but I don't understand why we need to highlight the...

Listener 4671 Ours By Xanthippe

A terrifying preamble. Ugh. Jumbles. Double ugh. Definition/letter mix clues. Ugh to the nth power. Yet this was brilliant! Once the method of entry of the across revealed itself, a smile was...

Listener 4670 Consequence By Ferret

A straightforward gridfill with some attitude added in the endgame. I thought the final part was clever; one of those "you know when it's right" moments hits you. Thanks, Ferret....

Listener 4667 Classicist By Gorrag

Extremely difficult, and unless I've missed something after hours of searching, a certain amount of insider knowledge is necessary to understand some of the thematic connections. I don't possess that...

Listener 4665 Nostimous By Sabre

A most impressive puzzle, thanks Sabre! Spotting the theme was enjoyable, but then the proper challenge began! It's not my specialist subject, but after a little research they fell one by one, leaving...

Listener 4663 Blurred Lines By Skylark

Can’t find a thread so here goes… After last week’s masterpiece from Android, I didn’t envy the setter whose puzzle would follow. So much to live up to, so perhaps the editors wouldn’t bother and...

Listener Crossword 4662 Hungry By Android

A stunning piece of setting, especially if Android is indeed a new setter. Perhaps not especially difficult to get the initial grid fill, but a great achievement to then enable it to produce all real...

Listener 4661 One Across By Lionheart

Lovely puzzle. The grid fill was fun and not too taxing; I enjoyed putting my rudimentary knowledge of the six-letter adjective to use. Despite spotting a couple of names quite soon, it took a fair...
