Listener 4258 Lassoed By Hotspur

Somewhat surprised not to see another post earlier than this. Finished some time ago. Gridfill relatively swift, some of misprints quite hard to spot, but made early (correct) stab at title and then...

Listener 4257 'a Short Entertainment' By Ferret

A short entertainment indeed, but most enjoyable, and bringing back happy memories. Quite a relief after last week's numerical grind.

Listener 4256 - Boxes By Radix

Oh my goodness. What an incredible feat from Radix. I have not been able to put this down since I got a foothold in - the construction, symmetry and elegance make the mind boggle. I am slightly...

Listener 4255 - On The Rocks By Dipper

I think I got (unusually) lucky with the gridfill on this, but even so, it was not quite as intimidating as the preamble led me to fear. A fun and fair workout with some entertaining clues. Thanks,...

Listener 4253 All Change By Dilwitch

I can certainly appreciate the masterful job of constructing the puzzle, but this one ranked low on the fun-o-meter for me. No pennies to drop or endgame to solve, so it was just a matter of slogging...

Listener 4251 Unchless By Corylus

Certainly, a breather after last week's toughie, but good fun nonetheless. Not much else to say about this one, I think.

Listener 4250 2016111214 91885 By Bero

Oh, what a struggle that was! Took me far too long to twig how to get started, and then progress was at snail's pace. Can't say that I'm a great fan (bring back last week's them any time!!) but it...

Listener 4249 Play's Opening By Shark

This seemed so easy at first - until half the grid was filled and I was suddenly utterly stumped. Even with almost all the grid filled, the penny took a long time to drop. But what a clever treatment...

Listener 4247 Yod Jsyv Dox By Ottorino

A very enjoyable puzzle and thankfully not as daunting as it looks (much as Wagner, according to Mark Twain, is better than he sounds). I made either an inspired or lucky guess as to the nature of the...
