Listener 4419 Common Acid Test By Stan

Well certainly not as hard as last week, but still was more challenging than I anticipated.

Listener 4418: Out Of Line By Sabre

After two days we have solved 10 clues and managed to enter one letter, although even that might be wrong. Is anyone else doing any better?...

Listener No 4416: Up To 10 Items? By Wan

I don't suppose you'd believe me if I said I'd had to break off to cook the supper, so I'll confess that with most issues resolved and the highlighting done I had two irritating letters still to enter...

Listener No 4415: Right And Left By Ploy

I was lucky enough to start the grid fill the right way round, but in any case the correct way is clear once the fill is well under way. Even with the grid full I had to go back over my rather...

Listener No 4413: Edit By Jago

I thought this was a very nice idea, but I wish there had been more consistency. Perhaps it wasn't possible to find a fourth theme word that would fit -- it's not my area of expertise. Some nice...

Listener 4408 Serpent

The theme leapt out at us when we had solved just a couple of clues, but this has not rendered this any less enjoyable. With a full grid, we still have to get the pencils out to draw the thematic...

Listener No 4407: Ad Nauseam By Chalicea

Nice straightforward clues, so a fairly quick grid fill, with totally unambiguous instructions to follow for the endgame. I had come across the theme before, and I thought this was a very neat...

Listener No. 4405: Revision By Tangram

Nice and straightforward. I felt we could have been left to work out for ourselves which entry was reversed, and I wasn't too keen on the cryptic clues to the second line, but it's always good to be...

Listener No. 4402: Right And Wrong By Tnap

Very satisfying. Some very good clues with some neatly hidden misprints. I'd forgotten that quotation, and was delighted to be reminded of it. Early on I thought there was going to be an ambiguity,...

Listener No. 4401: Literal Spling By Waterloo

That was fun -- quite a quick solve, but I liked the idea. The one slight niggle I have is that the literal spling has not been 100% carried out -- unless I've made mistakes in at least two entries....

Listener 4400: Three Steps To Heaven By Dysart

I'm not really surprised that no one has posted yet, as this was something of a toughie. I think that I have it all now (at least I have a grid that fulfills the requirements). At first I thought that...

Listener No 4397: We'll Always Be Together By Flying Tortoise

Thanks, Flying Tortoise (glad you weren't used in the experiment -- if it really took place). Nice to have a hands-on puzzle again. A fairly straightforward set of clues, and very clear instructions....

Listener 4395: 6 Across By Shackleton

I thought I might be in for a bit of grid-staring, but the penny dropped after about half an hour. The amount of thematic material and the construction of the messages is most impressive. A worthy...

Listener No 4394: Against Expectatios By Duck

I had to do a lot of cold solving before I could be sure which were the rogues, but once they were identified it all fell into place quite neatly. A few words to add to the vocabulary, too. Many...

Listener No 4392: A Conversation By Kevgar

Nice straightforward clues, and a theme that never fails to raise a smile. Familiarity with the theme, guessed early, made is possible to see where some clashes were going to be before both...

Listener Crosswordno 4391: 22Ses Square By Tibea

Lovely puzzle by the Listener editors (Tiburon and Kea). Impressive to think these excerpts were published in the paper. I was thinking as I was solving it that I am still in need of a cryptic clue,...

Listener No 4390: Castaways By External

That was good fun. I have to admit that I used the extra words to deduce the first six relevant entries, and only then sat down to work out what the husband and wife had been up to. I suppose it might...
