I can certainly appreciate the masterful job of constructing the puzzle, but this one ranked low on the fun-o-meter for me. No pennies to drop or endgame to solve, so it was just a matter of slogging...

Wowee! Amazing stuff, but really hard to fathom initially and then, and then...all of it starts to fall into place ... pause ... think again ... think again ... Eureka!! A joy, Mr Lavatch. Many, many...

Certainly, a breather after last week's toughie, but good fun nonetheless. Not much else to say about this one, I think.

Oh, what a struggle that was! Took me far too long to twig how to get started, and then progress was at snail's pace. Can't say that I'm a great fan (bring back last week's them any time!!) but it...

This seemed so easy at first - until half the grid was filled and I was suddenly utterly stumped. Even with almost all the grid filled, the penny took a long time to drop. But what a clever treatment...

Lovely and straightforward puzzle. Glad that the highlighting is optional, although I'm sure that JEG will be generous on the interpretation of the shade. Thanks Augeas for bringing back some happy...

A very enjoyable puzzle and thankfully not as daunting as it looks (much as Wagner, according to Mark Twain, is better than he sounds). I made either an inspired or lucky guess as to the nature of the...

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...

Surely I am not the first to post? This has been delightful all the way through and I just laughed out loud at the help the Internet gave me. Great fun, thank you, Plinth.

Persuaded out of a Listener sabbatical by the early posting on the website, I worked my way through this (thankfully) relatively straightforward issue at a steady pace and with just enough enthusiasm....

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...

Sheer joy! And wholly agree with her sentiments....skilfully put together, and with many a clever clue amongst them (particularly liked 32a and 17d). As ever, gridfill speeds up after PDM and with...

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...

Very well crafted grid with some devilish elements. Clues not too difficult but quite a lot of cold solving required before one can start hazarding any sort of gridfill. Much enjoyed the PDM after...

This was a joy from start to finish. My favourite puzzle so far this year.

I usually hate playfairs, so what a joy to have this one with a difference. Thank you so much Mordred (for a nice easy solve, too, that will be perfect to welcome newcomers). Great fun!

What an excellent Listener. Thorough enjoyment from start to finish. Solid clues with a variety of straightforward and tricky ones. The grid fill looked tough at first with no entry greater than...

Good grief, I can't believe I'm starting this thread off! I thought this was an excellent puzzle by Wan. Very clever how the clues read on the surface and still produce real words after the...

What a long preamble, but what a fun puzzle. It took me a few minutes to get what the down message was telling me, but the P D'd, all was clear. Thanks hedge-sparrow.
