Listener 4124 Travel Guide by Aedites

Much more fun for me this week, challenging but not daunting. It gets much easier once the theme is grasped, but the final straight line takes a bit of spotting. One of those which manages to be...

Listener Crossword 4117 Great Expectations by Samuel

Not finished yet, but I've got grid B, so I know two things already. There's an awful lot of pretty close to cold solving in Grid A, and I've got to get a bigger print out to have any kind of chance...

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 4111: News Quiz by Stan

Another relatively gentle start to the week (if I've got it right, that is). I'm not sure the question revealed by the corrected letters is properly answered by the final grid, which is where I have...

Listener 4110: Contractions by Hubris

What a delightful piece of work, on a theme that I've been playing around with myself and which I will now have to shelve. Some of the thematics led to a lot of head scratching on the grounds that I...

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 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 4098: Language Balancing by Schadenfreude

A fine piece of craftsmanship from Schadenfreude: I especially like the fact that "altered words consist only of real words" after a few recently that have included gibberish in the finished...

Listener 4085: Atom Smasher by Llig

Though there's another thread on on 4095, and I've contributed to it, this might help get the conversation started, though I suspect not a long one. There really isn't much to this (sorry Llig, and...

Listener 4094: Wet Wet Wet by Lato

A much bigger challenge, I thought this week, with some very clever plays involved in creating the group members. Lots of lovely pennies dropping all the way through. I'd be interested to see how soon...

Listener 4084: Oh Yes It Does! by BeRo

This is fun, possibly a good introduction to the Listener genre for newcomers, without compromising quality. There are still some words no-one could be expected to know out of there usual vocab, but...

Listener 4083: Not as Mad as It Sounds? by Bandmaster

At first the high proportion of short words is a bit daunting - but for the most part the clues are fair, even if in one instance a little vulgarity (in my and Chambers' opinion) creeps in. A good...

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 4078: The Fragmentation of Reality by Lavatch

This one's a gem: don't be put off by the complex instructions or that fearsome 65,536 possible combinations: It all comes out well in the end. Good, fair clues, some lovely PDM's, and a satisfying...

Listener 4077 Forced Entry by Mr Lemon

I'm not sure what the protocol is for starting a Listener thread, so I hope nobody minds if I leap in. I thought this was a nice, accesible run around, more an impressive piece of construction than a...
