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 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 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...

Listener 4191: Full Instructions Included by Nudd

Great fun. Not overly complex clues, so grid (sort of) filled quite quickly. PDM for endgame likewise followed apace, and then needed some careful thought to justify all ten modifications, producing...

Listener 4186 : Cuemasters by Tangram

Much less perspiration (and perhaps less inspiration) than last week, but still some tricky spots in the letters omitted, a number of enjoyable clues, and a neatly executed grid all fitting together...

Listener 4175 : The Winning Line by Ozzie

Zany clues, almost laugh-a-minute stuff and a remarkable (and surprising) dénouement. Brought much needed mental warmth to the icy surroundings here. Terrific stuff, great fun and the best of...

Listener 4169 : Seaside Shuffle by Monk

PDM at last! Having huffed and puffed, suddenly it dawned on me what it was all about. Of course, haven't actually finished it yet but wanted to get in early as never started this thread before....

Listener 4130, Rattle by Augeas

Oh dear ! Quotation found far too quickly, leading to realisation of the nightmare to follow. All but three clues already solved. To complete gridfill, it's one for the Wiki-ists, not the aficionados,...

EV 949 : Square By Square by Piccadilly

Much easier than it looks from the pre-ramble, as clueing is very straightforward (for once you barely need the BRB) and should quite quickly lead you to theme. Extreme care needed in final grid-fill...

EV 948 Tradition by Samuel
