Listener 4258 Lassoed By Hotspur

Listener 4249 Play's Opening By Shark

Listener 4247 Yod Jsyv Dox By Ottorino

A very enjoyable puzzle and thankfully not as daunting as it looks (much as Wagner, according to Mark Twain, is better than he sounds). I made either an inspired or lucky guess as to the nature of the...

Listener No 4237 Restitution By Schadenfreude

Very well crafted grid with some devilish elements. Clues not too difficult but quite a lot of cold solving required before one can start hazarding any sort of gridfill. Much enjoyed the PDM after...
