Listener Crossword 4155 Body of Evidence by Jacques

Listener 4150 - Garden Scraps by Colleague

A rapid grid fiil brings the reward of a visit to the sherry decanter before attempting to make sense of the preamble. It's a risky strategy, but someone has to try it. On reflection, I think I boobed...

Listener 4147 OZ and WR by Theod

Having seen that this has a Playcode code, I was intending to put it to one side. Having failed at that, I now find myself within an ace of finishing. Much easier than I expected, but I realise that...

Listener 4126 Arthurian Legend by Corvettes

Wow. Absolutely brilliant. I tried to rotate the rings mentally, but got out the scissors after a few minutes. Then half my letters were upside down, so I printed out a new grid and re-filled it. An...

Listener 4124 Travel Guide by Aedites

Much more fun for me this week, challenging but not daunting. It gets much easier once the theme is grasped, but the final straight line takes a bit of spotting. One of those which manages to be...

Listener 4119 Mass Production by Hedge-Sparrow

Listener 4085: Atom Smasher by Llig

Though there's another thread on on 4095, and I've contributed to it, this might help get the conversation started, though I suspect not a long one. There really isn't much to this (sorry Llig, and...

LISTENER CROSSWORD 4022 At arms length by Hotspur

Look's like the new Listener website has closed the back door to obtaining the crossword. Perhaps we'll have to buy the paper instead. I can think of one of our "friends" who will be happy!!
