Listener No 4422: Buried Treasure By Poat

Sod's law dictated that the last couple of clues that resisted my attack included clashes, so I had to resort to reverse logic from a guess at the instruction to nail those. It took me a while to get...

Listener No. 4420: King's Album By Stick Insect

Quite a pretty treatment of the theme, with a pleasingly accurate representation in the grid. Fairly straightforward clues meant quite a quick solve, despite the large number of grid entries. Many...

Listener No 4417: Hms Arcady By Hedge-Sparrow

A lucky identification after half a dozen letters of the poet and I was off to a good start as I learned the poem at school, and these things never leave you! As Hedge-sparrow has crammed such a mass...

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 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. 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 4398: Boxing Characters By Mountain Ledges

This was real fun. I'd have struggled with the objects without Google (I understand that other search engines are available). The clues were generally fairly straightforward, though I was held up for...

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 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. 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 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...

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....

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 4361 Two For The Price Of One By Monk

Pretty easy grid fill, and an interesting second puzzle. I do quite enjoy puzzles of this second type, but the ones I have seen before tend to be very trivial. This one was a little more challenging....
