Listener 4484 Quiet Guests By Schadenfreude

An absolutely first-rate puzzle to start the year. I felt smug having got the basis of the theme from the first "crowded cell" I came across along with the title, but then there was the small matter...

Listener 4483: A Little Ray Of Sunshine

A pleasant, if lightweight, distraction. At least the weekend is clear for those of us who choose to sit in traffic. A Happy New Year to all....

Guardian Prize 27388

Anyone got a solution for 1d in the right hand grid? I can come up with a sensible six-letter solution to the clue, and I think the extra letter to add in is V or G... but I can't make a 7-letter word...

Listener Crossword 4475 Follow The Directions By Artix

A very clever construction form Artix. Grid fill not too difficult, but making sense of the scissor work took a little bit of thought. Other than being aware of the title, I was not familiar with the...

Listener 4466 X Xx Xxx By Somniloquist

Most accomplished: tricky devices, clever clues, excellent title, and all the thematic stuff does (eventually) fit together most neatly. If this is a Listener debut, then it's one of the best for some...

Listener No 4463 The Evolution Of East Perry By The Ace Of Hearts

Nice to have a circular one and we were given a very generous hint from the start but the very last two words we had to enter have taken almost as long as the rest of the grid fill. I have had a good...

Listener 4461: Dilemma By Aedites

A gentler test than last week, that's for sure. The penny dropped with most of the right hand side of the grid filled - a nice treatment of a familiar theme.

Listener No 4458: Difficulty By Chalicea

Thanks Chalicea. Rather simple clues, though, and the theme jumped out a little too obviously....

Listner No. 4455: Silence By Mynot

It took me a little while to spot what was needed in the top and bottom rows, but apart from that a reasonably straighforward offering from MynoT. I was lucky in getting the big word across the middle...

Listener No. 4453: Army & Navy By Shackleton

I made heavy weather of this at first, and admired the way some of the misprints were quite deviously hidden. I was lucky in the end-game, spotting a likely anagram which turned out to be correct: I'm...

Grid fill started quickly, but the last few dragged on for a while. I found some of the extra words really hard to spot, and had to go back once I was convinced I had the right number of entries and...

Listener No 4436 Clean-Up Operation By Aragon

We've spent almost as long grid staring as grid-filling and breathed a massive sigh of relief when the penny (or something) finally dropped. This has been by far the toughest so far this year. Thanks...
