Listener 4295: Codebreaker By Zag

Definitely a tough one to get into. I was going along nicely, solved a few clues and got what I thought was the correct code only to find I've made a slip somewhere. I think the logic is pretty much...

Listener 4293 : Shrub By Aedites

Hurrah - a relatively easy solve after last week's more difficult offering, so no interruption to tomorrow's Eurovision! I rather liked the final PDM. Thanks Aedites.

Listener 4291: Maxon By Schadenfreude

Luckily I spotted what had to be done fairly quickly -- a device regular solvers will have met before. This assisted in solving some tough clues. Slightly underwhelming, feeling a little...

Searching this site hasn't found any other threads for this puzzle, so here goes! I thought this was the toughest puzzle for some time. It took me several hours last night before the penny finally...

Listener 4282: Coordinated By Mr Lemon

Sad to see a farewell crossword from Mr Lemon: I had not picked up the fact that he had died. A nice puzzle to remember him by though, with lots of nice clues and a final step that had me chasing...

Listener 4281: Sporn By Hedgehog

A very straightforward numerical. I was surprised at how few candidates there were for some of the number patterns, giving very clear entry points to the puzzle. Thanks, Hedgehog, for not taking up as...

Listener Crossword No 4280 Face Off By Bero

Another rather gentle exercise with easier than normal clues (perhaps perforce) and a not too complex endgame, neatly tieing up all of the thematic material. Will be interesting to see how solvers...

Listener 4279 Hellside By External

Nice gentle cluing from eXternal - first Listener I think. This will be a good starter for new or newish solvers but shouldn't detain the regulars for too long. All definitions sorted, just a bit of...

Listener No 4278: Generalisation By Samuel

This was a very clever idea by Samuel. Despite getting the theme quite quickly and also deducing the quotation, it took me quite a while to solve all the clues and to construct the grid. But there was...

Listener Crossword No 4274 -- Sonamb By Porlock

A very pleasant way to end the year. Grid is chock-full of thematic material, and despite the multiple gimmicks it wasn't too difficult to break into the clues, probably a few very generous ones to...

Listener 4269 Journey To The Centre By Ilver

I’m surprised that no one has yet commented on this first-class puzzle. Not the usual numerical but a thoroughly entertaining exercise in logic as well as plenty of clues to solve. Thank you, Ilver....

Listener Crossword No 4267 German Serial Composition By Quinapalus

Certainly this theme was something new to me, and I am not sure that I understand all of its nuances but have managed to complete the final grid even so. Some very deft touches in both the clues and...

Listener Crossword 4263 Coordinates By Sabre
