Listener 4718 Linked By Vismut

A perfectly enjoyable workout - now back to last week's intractable puzzle. Thanks, Vismut....

Listener 4710 - Surprised By Sabre

Wow - we were due a difficult one, and this really delivered. A Carte Blanche with precious few ways in, and Sabre's usual convoluted (if always fair) clues made for a *very* slow start. Eventually a...

Listener 4707 - An Overt - Awinger

A delight - not difficult, but all very neat and tidy - a great puzzle for anyone fancying a go at a Listener. Thanks Awinger - I really enjoyed that and now have a happy earworm for the weekend too....

Listener 4698 - Late Arrival By Aragon

What a cracking puzzle - a very fair carte blanche with some decent entry points. Excellently hidden wrong letters in some quite elegant clues and then just enough of a hint in the message to make the...

Listener 4696 Mint Sauce By Stick Insect

Very clever but there was insufficient connection between the thematic clues and their entries. All the same were introduced to a few interesting words. Thanks, Stick Insect....

Listener 4695 Betrayal By Nudd

An exquisite composition. Thanks, Nudd....

Listener 4694 Follow The Directions Again By Artix.

A brilliantly devised trap for the unwary, into which of course I fell. I was expecting to finish this in almost record time until I got to the last stage when, despite having considered the main...

Listener 4691 Something In Common By Lionheart

Many thanks to the Times for providing a Christmas Listener, which I particularly appreciate as the current situation meant I couldn't get over to the UK to see my family. A nice festive Listener,...

Listener 4690 Hatched? Matched? Despatched? By Ifor

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....

Listener 4683 Diversions By Dysart

A veritable cornucopia of thematic material. Bravo, Dysart....

Listener 4682 Round Table Man By Banjaluka

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!...

Listener 4680 Manhunt By Shark

Utterly brilliant! Tough clues and uncertainties in the placing of entries made for a slow, but steady grid fill, and this was rewarded many times over by a stunning endgame. Usually I quail when I...

Listener 4678 Bleak Expectations By Mira

Great fun - bags of thematic material and an amusing endgame. Thanks, Mira....

Listener 4677 Variety Show By Enigmatist

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...

Listener 4675 Called To Order By Vismut

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 -...

Listener 4674 - Elusive Figures By Poat

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...

Listener 4672 Form..ation By Mr E

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...

Listener 4663 Blurred Lines By Skylark

Can’t find a thread so here goes… After last week’s masterpiece from Android, I didn’t envy the setter whose puzzle would follow. So much to live up to, so perhaps the editors wouldn’t bother and...

Listener Crossword 4662 Hungry By Android

A stunning piece of setting, especially if Android is indeed a new setter. Perhaps not especially difficult to get the initial grid fill, but a great achievement to then enable it to produce all real...
