Listener 4800 - Ready Now By 'Eck

Listener Crossword 4796 Delay Repay

Listener 4782 Life 2 By Hawk

To be honest we don't quite see the "similar" shapes in the mathematical sense although all the thematic elements resolve themselves nicely.

Listener 4771 In Vino Veritas By Raven

Well that was the toughest (and best) of the year so far by a country mile. I don't remember clues where the wordplay leads to anagrams of the answer before. It was quite tough in a few cases to...

Listener Crossword 4769 Path-Finding

I made greater headway with the downs than the acrosses so grid filling was slow. Having an idea of the inital letter of an answer literally gives me a head start in solving. A good mixture of clues,...
