EV 1020: Loss by Samuel

Hello everyone, I had a sinking feeling when I did the first pass through the clues looking for gifts! I found the clues hard, but fair in retrospect. Hopefully someone will confirm the answer lengths...

Listener 4191: Full Instructions Included by Nudd

Listener 4190 by Oyler

Listener 4189, 8 by 13

Best of luck with this one, everybody. I nearly quit with it being a carte blanche (sort of - at least we have word lengths) with indeterminate numbers of letters to be removed from clues, clashing...

EV 1012 Drab Cops by Nudd

Hello N&Cers, took a long time for the PDM on this one, but well worth the wait, I thought. A very nice twist to the 12 clues. Thanks for the workout, Nudd.

Listener No 4182 Breach of Contract by Ron

I've just got the theme and title and am, as usual, thoroughly enjoying this puzzle. The three different types of clue were a challenge to start with but it all works out very nicely. Many thanks for...

EV 1011: Title by Piccadilly

I normally don't like this type of EV, where the lights and clues are not numbered, but the cluing was straightforward and grid entry similar. Except that the clue, "Cat, excited, close to...

EV 1009 Rash by Kcit

Quite a challenging puzzle this week, between extra letters, clashes and redundant definitions - and one completely normal clue. An inspired guess at the 11-letter across led me to the quote and lots...

Listener 4179: O Gather Twelve by Augeas

Back to the relatively easy ones then, though I think the final step's a bit of a swine if the subject's not all that familiar. One of those with a reasonably straightforward grid fill (with one...

EV 1007

In my opinion an excellent puzzle, fun clues and clever misprints, for me, much more enjoyable than yesterdays Listener.

EV 1006 - Connecting Flight

Hi fellow EVers You are probably as disappointed as I am by this EV. It has to be the easiest one I've ever done and I wonder how it came to be accepted for publication. EV is supposed to be a step up...

EV 1005

In my opinion one of the hardest for a while - tough clues and a fun end game - one or two wordplays still escape me though.

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 4174: The Dentures of Sherlock Holmes by Salamanca

Unless I've gone seriously wrong, this easier than it first appears, though I'm still not sure of 15d. The definition seems to be a bit stretched and it's a bit of an exception to one of the rules....
