Listener 4313: Weak Force By Tut

Quite a straightforward offering from Tut, with an easy endgame. Fun, though, and a subject I am fond of....

Listener 4311 - Carte Blanche By Chalicea

This is an excellent example of a carte blanche puzzle; thanks Chalicea! However, I think there are eight thematic clues, not seven......

Listener 4310: Net Book Agreement By Charybdis

Oh dear ... another puzzle with straightforward clues. The endgame was more interesting, however. We must have a stinker coming up....

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 4306: Hosta La Vista By Dipper

All done, unless there are alternative (and possibly more interesting) meanings to the fourth and third last words of the instruction.

Listener 4305: Not A Blocked Grid By Lavatch

Another excellent construction. The top right corner held me up for a while, but once the penny dropped I could sit back and admire Lavatch's skill -- many thanks....

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.

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...

Listener Crossword No 4301 It's Over Here! By Jago

Have just taken up my £1 special offer for first month of my Times subscription, and do hope I shall get better value for money in the coming weeks. I regret to say that this is just not up to...

Listener 4300: 22 Across By Calmac

I suppose it had to come -- I mean both the theme and an easy one after a few gems. I am sure there could have been something more exciting by way of an end-game, but thanks anyway, Calmac....

Listener

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...

Listener 4298 Safari By Nibor

A very gentle but amusing romp through territory that was fortunately familiar to me. Liked the alternate letter device. Many thanks to a veteran setter, I believe. Leaves us all plenty of time to...

Listener 4297 - Tetris By Aramis

What a magnificent puzzle! I hope this one is remembered when the puzzle of the year vote is made. It will be hard to top. Thanks, Aramis!

Listener 4296: Playgroup By Ifor

One of those frustrating ones where the last four clues took as long to sort out as the rest of the clues and the theme altogether. Apart from those four, it was all pretty clear, so thanks Ifor. I...

Listener 4295: Codebreaker By Zag

Definitely a tough one to get into. I was going along nicely, solved a few clues and got what I thought was the correct code only to find I've made a slip somewhere. I think the logic is pretty much...

Listener Crossword 4294: Trio By Bark By Hedge-Sparrow

Wonderful puzzle and beautifully implemented on a personally favourite theme. Thank you so much Hedge-sparrow

Listener 4293 : Shrub By Aedites

Hurrah - a relatively easy solve after last week's more difficult offering, so no interruption to tomorrow's Eurovision! I rather liked the final PDM. Thanks Aedites.

Listener 4292: Going Out In Style By Homer

That was quite a work-out. I admit to firing up the spreadsheet to help with the sorting, and once I'd got the theme and saw what had to be revealed I left a few loose ends till this morning. Some...
