Listener 4639 - Hotfoot By Vismut

8 Answers

A well judged puzzle for this weekend, I thought. Hard enough to satisfy the regulars (with plenty of thematics too) but accessible enough for anyone who fancies a go at something new over the holidays.

Some nice clues and a few red-herrings in the omitted words - all in all very satisfying.

Thanks Vismut and Happy Christmas to everyone in Listener Land.

I agree, it just what I wanted last night. I thought the clues were lovely, as they always are from Vismut. Thanks very much.

Season’s best to all from me too.

I agree, this was pitched at just the right level for a Christmas puzzle. Vismut's puzzles are always fun and thought-provoking, and this was no exception. Perhaps one of the grid changes can be seen as giving an inaccurate form of one of the words in the second work, but it's obvious what's going on so it doesn't matter too much. Merry Xmas all.

Very nice puzzle with some delightful clues. Just right for a relaxing Boxing Day.

Wishing everybody a Happier New Year.

Plenty of fresh ideas and thematic material.

Thanks, Vismut and a Happy Christmas to all.

About halfway through the endgame so still some way to go. On another tack I occasionally (about once a year) set a easy Listener-style crossword for my family and have just put one together for them. If anyone would like maybe half an hour of fun I'd happily send you a copy, and would also be happy for any feedback - send me an email at [email protected]
Happy Xmas to you all
