Listener 4144: Location, Location, Location by Shackleton

Despite only solving 2 of Shackleton's puzzles before (the Jackson Pollock puzzle and the Morse code/Beethoven prize winning puzzle of last year), I have been eagerly awaiting the next. This does not...

Listener Crossword 4143: the Bottom Line by Charybdis

Not so much a Listener Crossword, more a plea for sanity. A neatly put together grid with an eye less to the difficulty of solving than to the transparency of the message. Nothing too difficult here -...

Listener Crossword 4142: Noye by Samuel

Is 12 across blessed with the correct clue? I've seen the same clue (31 across in this case) leading to a different answer on occasions, but I can only work out one single word answer which doesn't...

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 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 Crossword 4135 Travellers by The Tall'n

Making good progress with this. Just got the 10 lines to draw. Lots of thematic material (and lots of fun)

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 Crossword 4132 Ups and Downs by Llig

Well, I seem to be almost at the end of this and have yet to decipher the precise quotation although I think I have the gist. Fastest grid fill for some time, so all the more reason to be careful.

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 4130 Rattle by Augeus

I see that trux and Starwalker have posted already, elsewhere. As I did, they quickly found the quotation and are now working hard.

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...

Listener Crossword 4128 Ringtone by Trev

Evening all. Once again I find myself staring at a completed grid and a completed instruction, the former quite straightforward, the latter requiring a leap of imagination that so far eludes me. All...

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 4126 Arthurian Legend by Corvettes

Wow. Absolutely brilliant. I tried to rotate the rings mentally, but got out the scissors after a few minutes. Then half my letters were upside down, so I printed out a new grid and re-filled it. An...

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...
