Absolutely first rate! Thanks, Nemo! The construction is quite amazing, especially when one considers how hard it must have been to insure a unique solution. The amount of thematic material in the...
Thanks, Emu, for a well-constructed homage a great work of art. Not among the more difficult Listeners, but that does not detract from its excellence. I assume the ambiguity of one of the abbreviated...
Wow! After staring at the full grid for hours off and on, I finally saw one of the words...then another..and then I was done. Thanks, Elfman, for a first-rate Listener!
I've searched bu apparently there is no Friday club for this very difficult offering by Sabre. I just got 17acr so I've finally finished. Phew! One of the hardest of the year, for sure. Thanks Sabre!...
With the Magpie, we get two Ifors in one week. Both are absolutely brilliant!
This one is very tough, even with TEA; without TEA I am not sure I could have got there.
Thanks, Ifor!...
I think I have it right. It's very devious indeed; another excellent Listener. I am unfamiliar with Porlock; is this his/her first L? I have a slight quibble with the title, assuming I understand...
Thanks for a good challenge, Kea. It was a nice challenge to determine the answers that had extra letters and not easy to get the two items from the extra letters. I am a bit concerned about what I...
What a masterful construction by Lavatch...This could be the puzzle of the year. I found the clues to be highly challenging; figuring out the quotation and author certainly helped with the final third...
I feel this is an extraordinary feat, especially constructing clues which are valid cryptic clues AND provide all of the thematic hints; the end result is a thing of beauty. On the other hand, I doubt...
I found this relatively easy with steady progress right through to the end. Nevertheless I think it's an excellent Listener, completely sound throughout. Thanks, Raich.
I found this to be a nice challenge with a very satisfying final step. I found the clues to be tough but fair (except I felt 19:33d was subpar). Well done, Ferret.
I found Merlin's puzzle to be a quick fill and the final step was easy for me to complete - but that does not diminish my admiration for this excellent construction in the slightest. Some of the...
I found this to be a somewhat difficult puzzle with very competent clueing, clever concealment of many of the misprints and a nice theme. Thanks, Hypnos.
