Listener Crossword 4540 Chalked Up By Nudd

Not a difficult grid fill and I had a good idea what I was looking for but it did take a little while to understand what exactly the four groups of omitted letters was about. Thanks to Nudd....

Listener 4539 Removal By Gos

I can't be the first, surely? I can't remember when I last sat in front of a Listener for so long with so little idea of what was going on. My first trawl through the clues produced virtually nothing...

Listener 4537: Rollerball

Another great puzzle from the Ace of Hearts. I usually find this type of circular puzzle tricky and this one was no exception. A very nice theme very well executed - many thanks!

Listener 4536 - Meowed By Apt

A very straightforward start to the year. Nice surface readings for clues and a fair endgame. Clues not overly hard, though. Onward in 2019

Listener 4528 Escapee By Dysart

An interesting treatment of a theme that I happened to come across not 4 hours ago, which certainly helped in identifying what was going on. This felt like a classic solid Listener, with plenty...

Listener 4527

Excellent challenge beautifully constructed. Shirley Curran is always good value as a setter. Fortunately for us G spotted the quotation very early on, which helped significantly.

Listener 4526 Quads Iii By Shark

One word: wow! This was an incredible construction on a par with the original Quads from 2015. The subterfuge of the mutilated definitions was a new one for me, and each stage of solving was a...

Listener Crossword 4525

Relatively gentle due to clues not being too demanding. For the avoidance of doubt (as retired lawyers say), each entry begins at its numbered cell.

Listener 4521: Translate Into Spanish By Cagey

One of the best of the year so far for me. Some wonderful clues, some easy clues and an endgame that kept on giving.

Listener No. 4520: My Retirement Plan By Artix

I enjoyed the endgame a little more than the puzzle. Some slightly weak clues, I thought, but the finish was a delight.

Listener 4515 - Way Out By Verbascum
