Anyone else have a problem with too many extras of a certain letter? Very enjoyable puzzle, though haven't entirely understood all of the thematic treatments. Thanks Lavatch (and if solvers enjoyed...
What a nicely clued and enjoyable solve. This was not the fearsome shocker we are all expecting one of these days. Please, please heed our pleas this week and don't spoil it for other solvers and...
Some lovely clues have brought me to the point where I just have to find the third item to illustrate, and I feel a need to rest. Thanks (in advance) Pointer. You have enlightened me and revived...
A nice workout, a puzzle full of.... oh, I don't know what. Certainly, I had 21a and the quote long before working out all the clues, and worked backwards to find all the extra letters/words. But, a...
What a nice puzzle. Very clever way of handling the themed entries, with some pop culture references not normally seen in these sorts of puzzles. Good fun.
Rather than incur the ire of DevaDolly I am posting again with the agreed title of an EV. In$ my original post I used the "Build a" option and it just decided to ignore my initial request to...
An enjoyable puzzle, but nothing too challenging. Strange that no clue for 4a, at least not in my version. Anyway all worked out fine in the end. Thanks Parsnip
Interesting this one in that I know what the end result should be, with the evident truth clearly displayed, but I can't see how best to get there: I have a number of viable options depending on what...
Have completed the grid and have all the unclued entries but I cannot see what to highlight nor can I see the relevance of Practically Worthless. Any help?
Another debut! I am usually not one for Listener's where there's no PDM etc but I enjoyed this one. Difficulty enhanced by the difference in definition and wordplay together with some tough clues....
Hello EV, N&C Wine Clubbers, INITIALLY I LOST my way on this, and FOUND I had to cold solve a lot of clues, which was not too much of a chore, before I FOUND my way! I actually think I spent more...
Hello EV, N&C WineClubbers, I was very obedient and followed the instructions! Hopefully you will all also find the result well composed! We are slurping a Stamford Brook Merlot, eminently...
Good morning all - I can't see a thread yet on this fine crossword by Shark. A difficult one, I thought, but lots of clever touches, and crammed with thematic material. I've still one or two bits of...
I don't get it! (the joke that is) I am glad it was easy this week compared to last week, but I am not impressed. The title, the rejoinder, the connection between the quotation? I suppose none of it...
A rapid grid fiil brings the reward of a visit to the sherry decanter before attempting to make sense of the preamble. It's a risky strategy, but someone has to try it. On reflection, I think I boobed...
Everyone must be away on their hols or just enjoying a lazy Sunday. A pretty straightforward grid fill, and once I'd decided that SMIR was not relevant other than the placing of unchecked letters, an...
An enjoyable Listener debut from Nod A concise preamble for once, straightforward clues and a nice finish to round it off. A few of the clues I had the wrong letter, despite being perfectly acceptable...
