The Listener Crossword No 4554 Duck By Vismut

We have completed the satisfying gridfill and identified the work in question but are finding the endgame less than tractable. Not thinking about it for a while is probably a good idea....

Listener No 4546 - Ripping Yarn By Nutmeg

A perfectly fine introductory Listener if a little too close to the Spectator genre. Thank you Nutmeg....

Listener 4538 Joint Conditions By Awinger

I really enjoyed this one, the theme revealed itself early enough to be a great help in dealing with clashes. Lots and lots of thematic material throughout. Nice to see a new setter too - thanks...

Listener 4537: Rollerball

Another great puzzle from the Ace of Hearts. I usually find this type of circular puzzle tricky and this one was no exception. A very nice theme very well executed - many thanks!

Listener 4536 - Meowed By Apt

A very straightforward start to the year. Nice surface readings for clues and a fair endgame. Clues not overly hard, though. Onward in 2019

Listener 4533 - Telling Lies

I stared at this for a while until my brain clicked into the style of cluing - and then it poured out in a rush. Some neat cluing, some simple. And the end game was amusing. Less of a chore than the...

Listener Crossword No 4532 How? By Twin

Listener 4531 Superpower By Shenanigans

I hope nobody minds me starting the ball rolling again. Nice unambiguous ending this week, but rather too much cold solving needed before any sort of grid fill could be attempted. I'll be interested...

Listener 4530 Gallery By Phi

Listener 4527

Excellent challenge beautifully constructed. Shirley Curran is always good value as a setter. Fortunately for us G spotted the quotation very early on, which helped significantly.

Relatively gentle due to clues not being too demanding. For the avoidance of doubt (as retired lawyers say), each entry begins at its numbered cell.
