The dreaded numbers. Googly was last seen in November 2006 with Solve Two, Get One Free. I enjoyed this. Not too much heavy duty calculator work, and it all fell smoothly into place. Cheers, Googly
I wonder how people are getting on with this one. I found that all but one of the "normal" clues fell in fairly quickly, but now I'm staring at an almost-full grid with no idea how to progress. Any...
An exquisite construction by Kea, with a very pretty ending. I found myself making some wild stabs based on the definitions and then working back to the misprinted wordplay before it all fell into...
This week's puzzle is by Raich, who last brought us "Men In Her Life", a George Eliot-themed puzzle two years ago . Nothing too taxing or out of the ordinary here, though the finish might generate a...
Before my time, Merlin's last effort was "Olde Treasure Hunt" in 2006 and won the Listener's gold cup that year I bet we are in for a toughie! Anyone who wants a copy email:...
A little later than usual getting started with this. Initially I found this a bit of a slog, but once the theme emerged, it all fell into place quite quickly. All in all, an enjoyable solve, but I...
I am pretty sure there are no ambiguities with Samuel's effort this time! An enjoyable finish, even though many of the extra letters in the clues stood out very blatantly. This type of cluing is hard...
As I've been told yet again by the Answerbank that I have not been on line recently (wrong) I will start this thread! This week's offering is S by Hedge-sparrow.
Morning! (or should I say that in French?) This weeks listener is "Half a Dozen" by Nibor Tough one this week to fill the grid because the inserted letters are randomly placed. Liked it because it was...
Hello EV N&Cers, Populated the grid quite quickly, but did not locate the three proverbial recommendations in such a rapid manner. Would have been quite elegant if the 3 had appeared in the form of...
Maybe all our prominent members are resting after last week's exertions, so I'll kick off this week's thread. Haven't had more than a glance at it yet and am not too familiar with this setter.
Still no link, of course. But another that relies heavily on cold solving. And a lovely nod for the Classicists amongst us in the use of "boustrophedon". I suspect more such will...
Thought I would be exceptionally rude and post the link to the latest Listener that I have been waiting for all week!! This is my first year of attempting the Listener crosswords and have managed to...
Here is the link to this week's listener crossword remember the railway linked previous listener from ploy "travelling light" - will this have a similar theme? enjoy
