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...

Inquisitor 1280

did anyone else find today's Inquisitor rather unsatisfactory? I finished it well before I managed to work out what I think the quotation is and have still not got several of Nudd's intended endings....

Listener Crossword 4240: Forlor By Nutmeg

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...

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 No 4237 Restitution By Schadenfreude

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...

Listener No 4236 Oh No! Not Another Playfair, By Mordred

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!

Listener 4235 X And Y By Ron

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...

Listener 4233: Elementary By Wan

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...

Ev 1060 - Change Of Title By Oxymoron

Listener 4231 - Vera By Elfman

After last week's toughie, I was hoping for an easy ride this week - especially as we are off on holiday very soon. So, my heart sank when I saw this mixture of truths, half truths and lies. Probably...

Listener No 4230 Elm By Quinapalus

Whilst one might argue about some of the clueing, and several ambiguities in extra letter(s), there is no doubt whatsoever that the endgame is most elegant. A real tough test, just about worth the...

Inquisitor 1269

No clue numbers, this is a carte blanche (I think!). Wordplay in each clue yields an extra letter not to be entered in the grid. Saucy adult logo is re-designed with good sense (11) I have come up...

Listener No 4229 Cleopatra's Needled By Ruslan
