Listener 4497: 'catechism' By Tnap

The clue-solving was tough work in places and I spent an age somewhat baffled ... but a nice couple of PDMs brought it all to an enjoyable conclusion. Thanks tnap :-)

Listener 4496: Ilam By Mynot

This was quite tricky to make progress with lots of cold-solving required, but the penny dropped in about three stages with a final satisfying clang. Another puzzle contributing to the high quality of...

Listener 4495: An Exchange Of Letters By Harribobs

A clever treatment of, for me, an unfamiliar theme. It's scarcely possible to believe that the letter changes in the grid can exist and give the required text. I really liked several of the across...

Listener 4494

A very enjoyable one session/several glasses of wine challenge with a theme that slowly becomes apparent.

Listener 4493 - Devilry By Nutmeg

All done (bar, if I'm honest, resolving one PD clue, albeit I am certain of the entry). I found the gridfill pretty tough going and, to my surprise, the PD clues seemed to fall more easily than the...

Listener 4492 Mad Tom's Traps

Took a while to pursue this, and I wasn't sure of it until the end, but I have now caught all the elusive quarries.

Listener 4490 - Rejob By Botox

I came to have a look to see what others thought of this one, but it looks like I'm the first - which must also be a first. The grid fill for Grid A was a bit of a slog, but I thought there was a nice...

Listener 4489 Ocean-Going Vessel

Am I truly first? Loved this one, and have just finally nailed my last replacement. Quick, but very clever.

Listener 4488

A fairly gentle workout after the rigours of the last weeks but highly enjoyable nonetheless. Steady progress by trial and error after the first grid entry leads to a neat endgame. Many thanks to...

Listener 4487 By Elgin

After several days in bed with very nasty flu I wasn't on best form to tackle one of the most challenging setters in the business, but lucky guesses and a series of PDMs made this an enjoyable journey...

Listener 4486: In Self-Defence

An entertaining puzzle, using a mix of familiar cryptic techniques. We were perhaps fortunate in identifying the run of correct letters after solving about a dozen or so clues.

Listener 4485: Mixed Emotions

Hmm. Mixed emotions for me. An intriguing effort that revealed itself fairly quickly. Not enamoured with 22A, 28D or 31D....

Listener 4484 Quiet Guests By Schadenfreude

An absolutely first-rate puzzle to start the year. I felt smug having got the basis of the theme from the first "crowded cell" I came across along with the title, but then there was the small matter...

Listener 4482 A Paper Construction

Four fifths of the grid solved and we have the central area. Some work to do yet, and we are absolutely not fans of folding.
