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 No 4264 Commission By Aedites

Listener 4258 Lassoed By Hotspur

Somewhat surprised not to see another post earlier than this. Finished some time ago. Gridfill relatively swift, some of misprints quite hard to spot, but made early (correct) stab at title and then...

Listener 4257 'a Short Entertainment' By Ferret

A short entertainment indeed, but most enjoyable, and bringing back happy memories. Quite a relief after last week's numerical grind.

Listener 4256 - Boxes By Radix

Oh my goodness. What an incredible feat from Radix. I have not been able to put this down since I got a foothold in - the construction, symmetry and elegance make the mind boggle. I am slightly...

Listener 4253 All Change By Dilwitch

I can certainly appreciate the masterful job of constructing the puzzle, but this one ranked low on the fun-o-meter for me. No pennies to drop or endgame to solve, so it was just a matter of slogging...

Listener 4251 Unchless By Corylus

Certainly, a breather after last week's toughie, but good fun nonetheless. Not much else to say about this one, I think.

Listener 4249 Play's Opening By Shark

This seemed so easy at first - until half the grid was filled and I was suddenly utterly stumped. Even with almost all the grid filled, the penny took a long time to drop. But what a clever treatment...

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...
