Listener 4,047: Cut Out by Lato

I wonder how people are getting on with this one. I found that all but one of the "normal" clues fell in fairly quickly, but now I'm staring at an almost-full grid with no idea how to progress. Any...

Listener 4045: Admission by Kea

An exquisite construction by Kea, with a very pretty ending. I found myself making some wild stabs based on the definitions and then working back to the misprinted wordplay before it all fell into...

Listener 4040: In Shock by Hubris

Not too difficult a challenge this week, but I found the highlighting a little disappointing because of the lack of symmetry: a time-invariant version, omitting the central symbol, would have allowed...

Listener Crossword 4039 - Intimacy by Bandmaster

A little later than usual getting started with this. Initially I found this a bit of a slog, but once the theme emerged, it all fell into place quite quickly. All in all, an enjoyable solve, but I...

Listener Crossword 4035

Morning! (or should I say that in French?) This weeks listener is "Half a Dozen" by Nibor Tough one this week to fill the grid because the inserted letters are randomly placed. Liked it because it was...

Listener Crossword 4034

This week's offering is "Overhead Reduction" by Schadenfreude. No mention of colouring, but apparently scissors, paper, adhesive and a straight edge will be required. Hmmmm !

Listener Crossword 4031 - Much Ado About Nothing by Shackleton

Hope nobody minds me starting this week's thread. Lengthy preambles aside I've made ok progress with this so far but still a lot to do. Some good clueing and the whole thing looks extremely...

any thoughts on Mr E's latest. The number connection fills me with dread. Have solved about half of the clues and found several clashes. Cheers

Listener 4027: Command Performance by Centigram

Centrigram gives us this weeks listener with a very nice denouement (better than squaring the circle last year) Although the across anagrams makes it tougher than the clues actually are, there is a...

Listener 4026: Elitism by Zero

A fine crossword from Zero as always. The grid filled fairly quickly but the thematic material is excellent. As usual the grid and clues have been forwarded on. If anyone else would like a copy:...

Listener Crossword 4024 - An Additional Symmetry by Waterloo

After last weeks colourful and interesting diversion (think my times tables are in much better fettle now!), thought I would start this weeks thread off, if I may. This certainly looks like an...

LISTENER CROSSWORD 4022 At arms length by Hotspur

Maybe all our prominent members are resting after last week's exertions, so I'll kick off this week's thread. Haven't had more than a glance at it yet and am not too familiar with this setter.

Listener 4021 Mazy by Salamanca

Still no link, of course. But another that relies heavily on cold solving. And a lovely nod for the Classicists amongst us in the use of "boustrophedon". I suspect more such will...
