Listener Crossword No 4573 Jean's Stuff By Schadenfreude

A fine final Listener from one of the master setters. He will be missed. Perhaps not his most difficult, but I should have realised the theme more quickly. Some well concealed misprints meant I did...

Listener Crossword 4572 - Don't Tell By Poat

Daresay I'm not the first to post on this but happy to have assembled a full grid with a reasonable hunch of what the final highlighting will need to reveal but as yet to tackle the final stage....

Listener Crossword No. 4571 International Standards Organisation By Harribobs

(I don't think there's an existent thread) This was a very neat puzzle and, mercifully, the clues were far easier than last week's puzzle. Nevertheless, there were some tricky clues... The endgame was...

Listener 4565 Folio By Nebuchadnezzar

No doubt there's a thread lurking, not yet appearing in AB search, though I've looked hard enough... I failed at the first hurdle - I couldn't find the puzzle! It's usually at the bottom of the home...

Listener Crossword No. 4563 Odd One Out By Sabre

I'm surprised there isn't a thread ... perhaps there is, and the Search facility is failing again. I finished this puzzle last night which must be a first with Sabre and tells me it wasn't as...

Listener Crossword No 4561 One Or The Other

Well, it took a long time for the penny to drop, not helped by a wrong entry. A neat treatment of the theme, with some tricky wordplay, including the one I got wrong and still haven't figured out...

Listener No 4558

A theme we've seen before I think and one I must revisit. A record time for me and there'll probably be faster ones. On the easy side - but why not? The weather's good and a relief after that spate of...

An excellent puzzle - some tough clues but the entry was quite easy. An unambiguous ending leaving time for other weekend activities. A little perplexed by the Emmy Award winner but could only think...

Listener 4551 By Phibre

And there was me hoping for a gentle one this weekend! This seemed impossible for a long time then inspiration finally dawned and things got moving. I'm not 100% certain that I've got the unusual...

Listener Crossword No. 4549 From Where I'm Standing By Emu

I'm not finding a thread, or having much success with the search box either. From having filled the grid, it has taken me hours to figure out how to actually interpret it, but I have at last got the...

Listener Crossword 4544 The Session By Gila

Finished this eventually last night, complete with Maxim and Item, but i have had to sleep on it to convince myself that what I have satisfies the preamble. Perhaps I should have had a drink before I...

Listener Crossword 4540 Chalked Up By Nudd

Not a difficult grid fill and I had a good idea what I was looking for but it did take a little while to understand what exactly the four groups of omitted letters was about. Thanks to Nudd....

I can't be the first, surely? I can't remember when I last sat in front of a Listener for so long with so little idea of what was going on. My first trawl through the clues produced virtually nothing...

Listener Crossword No. 4535 One Good Turn By Paddock

I've tried searching but there doesn't seem to be a thread in existence. So ... This was another great crossword which has rounded off a superb year for the Listener puzzle. I thought the clues were...

Listener 4533 - Telling Lies

I stared at this for a while until my brain clicked into the style of cluing - and then it poured out in a rush. Some neat cluing, some simple. And the end game was amusing. Less of a chore than the...

Listener Crossword No 4532 How? By Twin

Another tough puzzle but not as bad as last week's by a long chalk. Once the entry method had been deduced it was much easier to make progress; initially I spent much time staring at the clues without...

Excellent challenge beautifully constructed. Shirley Curran is always good value as a setter. Fortunately for us G spotted the quotation very early on, which helped significantly.

Have finished this more or less and very fine it is too - except that I'm left with several ambiguous cells and no indication that I can see on how to resolve this. The subject of line 2 also eludes...

Listener 4511: Death In The Afternoon By Little Hare

Well that was a nice straightforward puzzle this week. I particularly liked the clueing this time round - my favourite being 20 across. Some of the misprints were very well hidden too. Thanks Little...

I can't find another thread so here goes. What an absolutely brilliant endgame! How setters can achieve such complex constructions so elegantly, I will never know. The denouement went a long way...
