Great fun. Still no idea about the title....

Listener Crossword No 4595 Equality By Elap

Am I the first? I’m simply astounded by the result. Number theory is just an amazing thing to delve - thanks Elap. And a decent pen/paper/calculator one, too! Although my final checking was reliant...

Listener Crossword No 4594 Chat By Aedites

At first I thought this was going to be a doddle thanks to some generous clues, but it wasn't at all. Stumbled on the theme fairly early on but working out the message from the extra letters,...

Listener 4593 Death Row By Ifor

I thought this was brilliant. Not quite as tough as it looked at first sight, although a lucky early guess at the theme helped. It all came together very neatly and the final step was beautifully...

Listener 4580 - A Game Of 11

Good fun but it became obvious a bit too early what it was all about.

Listener 4579 - Skywriting

Now that was great - a splendid challenge which yielded its secrets in tantalisingly small packets as it was prised open. Even after spotting and completing the quotation, it was far from a doddle to...

Listener 4576 Striving By Twin

Striving definitely described what it took to solve this, and probably even more the amount of effort it must have taken Twin to construct it. While I was aware of the thematic subject, it was not by...

Listener Crossword 4572 - Don't Tell By Poat

Daresay I'm not the first to post on this but happy to have assembled a full grid with a reasonable hunch of what the final highlighting will need to reveal but as yet to tackle the final stage....

Listener Crossword No. 4568 Howsat! By Skylark

Not a bad puzzle although some of the 3 letter entries made it difficult to ascertain the extra letter. Initially I had a perfectly acceptable alternative answer for 29ac. Not my kind of theme at all....

Listener 4567 Going Concern

Another delightful offering from Hedge Sparrow, as ever neat and precise. Some decent clues too, but unambiguous and a new PB for me finishing so early on a Friday evening so I can enjoy the sun...

Listener 4565 Folio By Nebuchadnezzar

No doubt there's a thread lurking, not yet appearing in AB search, though I've looked hard enough... I failed at the first hurdle - I couldn't find the puzzle! It's usually at the bottom of the home...

Listener Crossword No. 4563 Odd One Out By Sabre

I'm surprised there isn't a thread ... perhaps there is, and the Search facility is failing again. I finished this puzzle last night which must be a first with Sabre and tells me it wasn't as...

Listener 4562: My Nap By Mr Ed

Listener Crossword No 4561 One Or The Other

Well, it took a long time for the penny to drop, not helped by a wrong entry. A neat treatment of the theme, with some tricky wordplay, including the one I got wrong and still haven't figured out...

The Listener Crossword No 4554 Duck By Vismut

We have completed the satisfying gridfill and identified the work in question but are finding the endgame less than tractable. Not thinking about it for a while is probably a good idea....

Listener Crossword No. 4552 Mortality By 'eck

Can't find another thread so ... This is 'Puzzle of the Year' for me thus far; but at a price as it has been a very tough solve. The five different types of clue made for difficult solving as one had...

Listener 4551 By Phibre

And there was me hoping for a gentle one this weekend! This seemed impossible for a long time then inspiration finally dawned and things got moving. I'm not 100% certain that I've got the unusual...
