Listener 4352 What’S Missing? By Artix

Excellent puzzle. Totally misinterpreted the first missing item I found, then spent about three hours looking for eight more similar items, before realising I had led myself well up the garden path....

Times Listener No 4319

What an astonishing compilation. Ferret, I am amazed that you could construct this. Dare I say that I am also immensely grateful that 'solvers need not actually carry out the manipulation (as that...

Listener No 4278: Generalisation By Samuel

This was a very clever idea by Samuel. Despite getting the theme quite quickly and also deducing the quotation, it took me quite a while to solve all the clues and to construct the grid. But there was...

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...

Listener Crossword No 4246 Construction By Shackleton

As one would expect, this turned out to be a real star turn. Amazing grid construction which all works out oh so beautifully. Not as fearsome as one might think at the outset, but still most...

Listener 4244 At Spes Non Fracta By Chalicea

Persuaded out of a Listener sabbatical by the early posting on the website, I worked my way through this (thankfully) relatively straightforward issue at a steady pace and with just enough enthusiasm....

Listener 4243 Pipes By Samuel

Quite a doozy this week but very enjoyable. Not necessary, of course, but I made copious use of the LEN, MID and VLOOKUP functions in Excel to count string lengths, pick out the Nth letter of the...

Listener 4239 Laureate By Wasp

A fun puzzle, I thought. The theme was unknown to me, so some Googling once the message from the omitted letters was clear was needed. Wikipedia to the rescue. A little more work was needed to get all...

Listener No 4237 Restitution By Schadenfreude

Very well crafted grid with some devilish elements. Clues not too difficult but quite a lot of cold solving required before one can start hazarding any sort of gridfill. Much enjoyed the PDM after...

Listener 4219 - What's My Line By Mr E

As is frequently the case with Mr E, I find myself with a full grid, I think that I have my "dodgy" letters and I need a break. The sherry decanter is beckoning and at the moment, the rest of the...

Listener 4217 Absolutely Pointless by Waterloo

A highly entertaining gridfill this week (I am struggling over the last two squares - cells, whatever) and wondering whether there is a further pdm to come - though it is difficult to see how anything...
