What a grand puzzle - a carte-blanche with a couple of entry points and then some excellent clueing to make it a real challenge. Well hidden wrong letters too, in a couple of cases. Loved the endgame...
A great theme and also a personal favourite.
The final instruction is still a bit confusing although it didn't hinder the final grid fill.
Thanks, Ifor....
A decent puzzle with a good mixture of clue difficulty.
The combinations produced results that I had been unaware of before. It's amazing what you don't notice!
Thanks, Buff....
What an amazing construction! Not a particularly hard puzzle, though no walk in the park either, with PDMs galore. I am a total incompetent with the theme, though even I knew enough not to have to...
The leporine one always comes up with good puzzles and this didn't disappoint. I found this tricky, not least that it took me a fair while to see how the jumbles could be entered. There are variant...
I remember when just about every other Listener Crossword used to be like this. Tough clues, tough theme and tough endgame. I thoroughly enjoyed it, thanks Banjaluka!...

I can't find another thread even though this puzzle has taken me 15 hours over two days. So here goes. I have never spent this long on any crossword - not even when I started with the Listener 25...
A much friendlier puzzle this week, very cleverly arranged and clued, and with a surprise ending (I was worried I was going to have to stray into an area well beyond my comfort zone). Thanks Vismut -...
The joy I had in finally completing this one was immense - thanks Poat, that was a real treat! The only really picky thing was that some of the removal instructions were less than obvious, but my...
My course coordinator forgot to keep me in emails when see makes new or important announcement. I want to politely tell her that keep me in emails, I wrote email draft, please someone can proofread my...
How long does it take to get used to varifocals? I'm struggling to get used to my new pair. I have to keep moving my head to get things in focus. Too much to think about!
Is it 'Lost in Translation.' or 'Lost in Translation'. (forget the question mark here). What I am talking about is to the position of the full-stop or comma relative to the single quotation marks. Is...
A very enjoyable extra word puzzle, made challenging by excellent clues throughout - thanks, Mr E! The endgame is not difficult to spot, but I don't understand why we need to highlight the...
After matching jumps they were offered a jump-off but agreed to share the Gold.
Well done guys, sportsmanship wins out for a change.
