Listener 4279 Hellside By External

Nice gentle cluing from eXternal - first Listener I think. This will be a good starter for new or newish solvers but shouldn't detain the regulars for too long. All definitions sorted, just a bit of...

Listener Crossword No 4246 Construction By Shackleton

As one would expect, this turned out to be a real star turn. Amazing grid construction which all works out oh so beautifully. Not as fearsome as one might think at the outset, but still most...

Listener 4241 Skippers By Ifor

I cannot find a thread for the puzzle so expect I will be redirected. I think I have this all completed although not 100% on the final step, so this needs a bit more thought. Spent ages on a huge...

Listener 4239 Laureate By Wasp

A fun puzzle, I thought. The theme was unknown to me, so some Googling once the message from the omitted letters was clear was needed. Wikipedia to the rescue. A little more work was needed to get all...

Listener 4234 9 To 5 By Zag

Listener 4205 Murder Mystery 2 by Gos

Listener 4199 Scattered by Kea

What a pleasure to see a Kea puzzle but what a tough solve. No, not really opening the Friday club as I still have to produce my final grid and there is some demanding word play to sort out but many...

Listener 4162 Carte Blanche with a Twist by Mash
