Listener 4501 - Two Solutions By Quinapalus

After being too tired to make much progress on this last night, I made the most of a delayed flight this morning and got there in the end (in both senses!). This was a clever construction, with mostly...

Listener 4496: Ilam By Mynot

This was quite tricky to make progress with lots of cold-solving required, but the penny dropped in about three stages with a final satisfying clang. Another puzzle contributing to the high quality of...

Listener 4493 - Devilry By Nutmeg

All done (bar, if I'm honest, resolving one PD clue, albeit I am certain of the entry). I found the gridfill pretty tough going and, to my surprise, the PD clues seemed to fall more easily than the...
