Ev 1125

Surprised there are no postings on this. A gentle grid fill and the first of the four letter indications fairly rapidly gave the quotation and source. However, having filled the grid there's still...

Listener 4296: Playgroup By Ifor

One of those frustrating ones where the last four clues took as long to sort out as the rest of the clues and the theme altogether. Apart from those four, it was all pretty clear, so thanks Ifor. I...

Ev: Sunday Telegraph Enigmatic Variations 1124 -- Hard Graft By Chalicea

A welcome return to solvable EVs again! Chalicea is good at packing thematic stuff into her grids, isn't she? I count at least 54 cells (maybe more) that are thematically linked, spread all over the...

Listener 4295: Codebreaker By Zag

Definitely a tough one to get into. I was going along nicely, solved a few clues and got what I thought was the correct code only to find I've made a slip somewhere. I think the logic is pretty much...

Listener 4293 : Shrub By Aedites

Hurrah - a relatively easy solve after last week's more difficult offering, so no interruption to tomorrow's Eurovision! I rather liked the final PDM. Thanks Aedites.

Listener 4292: Going Out In Style By Homer

That was quite a work-out. I admit to firing up the spreadsheet to help with the sorting, and once I'd got the theme and saw what had to be revealed I left a few loose ends till this morning. Some...

Listener 4291: Maxon By Schadenfreude

Luckily I spotted what had to be done fairly quickly -- a device regular solvers will have met before. This assisted in solving some tough clues. Slightly underwhelming, feeling a little...

A Birthday -A-B-C(E-F) By Kevgar

I enjoyed that (I had a slight sense of deja vu over the theme, but if I'm right I hope nobody will give the details until after the closing date). I did it in rather an odd order. With about half the...

Listener 4288 A Birthday -A-B-C(E-F) By Kevgar

Very ingenious construction; lovely use of theme right down to the title. Cluing not too difficult, and plenty of help from normal answers. It helped that the theme was familiar. Thanks, KevGar.

Listener 4287: Primed To Begin By Spud

A pretty easy solve, with clear advice coming from the extra letters. My preference is for a more formal style of invitation, but there I'm just old-fashioned. Not much else to say, really. Thank you,...
