Listener 4114 - Three Square by Elap

No - I haven't quite finished it yet. Still, one of the joys of a Listener comes when you learn something new, and primitive triangles are new to me. I assume that the numbers in the threes are also...

Listener 4113 Liberty Bell

Either I have missed the thread or thank goodness others are finding this as tough as I am. 3/4 done on the grid and some of the anagrams and extended words found. I am a little sceptical about some...

Listener 4112: Girl by Xanthippe

Really, really laugh-out-loud funny crossword, worth all the struggle through the barless grid and the decent, twisty set of clues. Goodness knows what form you're supposed to submit it in, but no...

Listener 4109 Not a Black and White Decision

Grid complete except for one cell and 18 clashes identified, but stuck at the moment as to what to do next. Enjoyable so far

Listener Crossword 4104: Merchandise by Adam

I have a nice full grid, but not a clue what's going on. I don't want to know what the solution is, just that someone out there has seen a regular pattern (or whatever) that makes sense of the thing....

Listener 4100: Table-turning by Kea

This is what the listener is all about. As soon as I saw Kea's name at the top I knew this was going to be good. This was a real challenge, the like we have been missing recently. Masterful...

Listener Crossword 4099: Double Devilry by Pointer

A nice challenge and a clever construction, but as you can see, a quick finish. I'm interested to know whether others see what to do before or after discerning the 10 letter word. Cheers to Pointer,...

Listener 4090 Refrain by Dysart

An evocative theme from our childhood this week and some very ingenious clues. Tougher than last week, we thought.

Listener 4089 Vive la Difference by Kevin

A very pleasant and enjoyable debut by Kevin. Some nice clues and a familiar theme which made me realise how quickly time passes. Possibly suitable for newcomers, but personally, I think that 32D is a...

Listener 4088 - Digimix by Oyler

Well, thank goodness we have a long weekend. I think I might need that to work out what the blazes the clues mean! I had one theory, but the rubric that all entries are different turned me towards a...

Listener Crossword 4082

This is a terrific technical challenge, with some fine and fair cluing. It made my head spin towards the end, and I suspect transcription into the final grid is going to be particularly prone to...

Listener 4076: Labour by Elint

Tough debut by Elint this week. Very good surface readings with definitions not always directly linked in Chambers, which I felt made it tougher. I was only mentioning a few weeks back that with the...

LIstener 4074 - Printer's Devilry by Qid

This was a good mix of lots of different techniques. Progress was steady until a major PDM when I realised what the keywords were. After that it was very straightforward. I was rather uncomfortable...
