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...

Listener No. 4388: Cycle 20% More By Smudge

What a delightful compilation. Thank you dragon. We have really enjoyed this.

Listener No. 4384: Xl By Harpy

That was a lot of fun. It took me longer than it should have to spot what was going on in the Group B clues, even though I had seen what the instruction told me to do elsewhere. Many thanks, Harpy,...

Listener No 4382 Migration By Malva

How good to see what I believe is a new name and a relatively rare device (those migrating letters). We have enjoyed this. Many thanks to Malva.

Listener No. 4380: Stomach My Mynot

I didn't even think of trying to fit the entries into the grid until I had cold-solved all but six. A couple of false starts, but as usual with this sort of puzzle once a few had slotted together the...

Listener No. 4378: Present Day By Horvendile

I'm surprised that there isn't a thread up for this yet. (Apologies if there is one) I started on it this afternoon, having only returned to the UK this morning. Just a couple of loose ends to tie up,...

Listener No. 4377: Russian Roulette By Rasputin

A very entertaining and well-constructed puzzle. Hard to believe how much the setter fit into such a small space. One minor quibble. The thematic subject of the puzzle, as described by its Wikipedia...

Many thanks to 'Eck for a fair and pleasing puzzle with a very tidy end-game....

Listener No. 4375: Five One-Time Pads By Poat

A pleasant unity to the whole puzzle. Clues were not too challenging, but there was plenty in the end-game to keep the interest up. Many thanks, Poat....

Listener No 4374 : A Tester Laid Out By Salamanca

I did enjoy the way the thematic material all slotted together, however I think the obscurity of some of the geographical references was pushing the boundaries of fair play rather. Thanks Salamanca....

Listener 4373 Semirp By Kea

Apologies if there is another thread. Nothing for the "numberphobes" to be scared of. Logical with only a bit of Excel at the start and some spadework at the end. Enjoyable - thanks Kea....

Listener Crossword No 4371 -- Our Announcer By Ploy

Well I suppose it's possible that I've gone a little wrong somewhere (made a couple of mistakes in counting in the across clues first time round, for instance), although I don't think that the...

The Listener 4370: Hefbeet By Yorick

I am surprised that there seem to be no other posts, as I am usually quite slow at solving. Anyway, an enjoyable workout from Yorick, although one that required a lot of careful cross-checking.

Listener No 4369: Golf... By Xanthippe

The grid fill was not as hard as I had expected, as spotting the treatment of the holes was a great help. I'm sure I'll have mucked up the last step, however, as i'm in the "good walk ruined" camp....

A Martch Play Golf Question....

In ordinary match play golf (not Ryder cup or the like) if one player is 3 up after the 16th, then that player wins 3&2, but would they finish the round anyway, or just walk off the course?...

Listener Crossword No 4368 -- The Name Of The Game By Harribobs

The preamble was enough for an early PDM, although I've not actually played the game properly before. Then it was a relatively speedy gridfill before I nervously attempted the endgame, dreading the...

Listener No. 4368 - The Name Of The Game By Harribobs

Chapeau Harribobs - some thankfully gentle clueing after the trials of last week led to a jaw-dropping endgame. Although very obviously signposted by the preamble, the way the final construction...
