Oh what a challenging one. I don't know how anyone gets to the full grid (as we have just done) without the help of devices. Now we are enjoying sorting out the godly mix up. Many thanks, Stick Insect...

Listener 4298 Safari By Nibor

A very gentle but amusing romp through territory that was fortunately familiar to me. Liked the alternate letter device. Many thanks to a veteran setter, I believe. Leaves us all plenty of time to...

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 4282: Coordinated By Mr Lemon

Sad to see a farewell crossword from Mr Lemon: I had not picked up the fact that he had died. A nice puzzle to remember him by though, with lots of nice clues and a final step that had me chasing...

Listener Crossword No 4280 Face Off By Bero

Another rather gentle exercise with easier than normal clues (perhaps perforce) and a not too complex endgame, neatly tieing up all of the thematic material. Will be interesting to see how solvers...

Listener 4279 Hellside By External

Nice gentle cluing from eXternal - first Listener I think. This will be a good starter for new or newish solvers but shouldn't detain the regulars for too long. All definitions sorted, just a bit of...

Listener Crossword No 4275 Make A Connection By Ioa

Is there a tradition to start the year with an extra-easy puzzle? This one certainly fits the bill but nonetheless has some nice touches (and not too much gridstaring in the end) even if the clues...

Listener Crossword No 4274 -- Sonamb By Porlock

A very pleasant way to end the year. Grid is chock-full of thematic material, and despite the multiple gimmicks it wasn't too difficult to break into the clues, probably a few very generous ones to...

Listener 4272 - Bun Fight By Kea

Thanks for a good challenge, Kea. It was a nice challenge to determine the answers that had extra letters and not easy to get the two items from the extra letters. I am a bit concerned about what I...
