Listener 4530 Gallery By Phi

A novel way to make use of a circular grid, which all fell neatly into place. I made rather heavy weather of the ring clues, often losing my place when trying to follow the entries round the grid....

Listener No. 4520: My Retirement Plan By Artix

I enjoyed the endgame a little more than the puzzle. Some slightly weak clues, I thought, but the finish was a delight.

Listener 4516 - A Defter Premier By Arden

Not like me to be done on Friday, still less posting first (if indeed I have). I found this very straightforward, but rather tedious, with lots of the same operation, occasionally speeded up with a...

Listener 4516 - A Defter Premier By Arden

Maybe I happened to stumble on a good place to start solving this, but having rather slogged my way through the last numerical, this one was much closer to plain sailing. My preconceptions about what...

Listener 4512

Have finished this more or less and very fine it is too - except that I'm left with several ambiguous cells and no indication that I can see on how to resolve this. The subject of line 2 also eludes...

Listener Crossword 4503 Property Management

I've only just started to look at this. It immediately occurs to me that those fourth powers are also square numbers so surely they will satisfy both properties. But this isn't allowed according to...

Listener 4502: Never-Ending?

This is curious. All done, all seems OK ... and yet I am a letter out in the endgame. I'll assume that I have made a small error. Perversely, I hope that I have and that there isn't a problem here....

Listner No. 4455: Silence By Mynot

It took me a little while to spot what was needed in the top and bottom rows, but apart from that a reasonably straighforward offering from MynoT. I was lucky in getting the big word across the middle...

Listener No. 4453: Army & Navy By Shackleton

I made heavy weather of this at first, and admired the way some of the misprints were quite deviously hidden. I was lucky in the end-game, spotting a likely anagram which turned out to be correct: I'm...

Listener No. 4428: Classic Fm Track By Aelfre

A nice brief escape from reality, not at all frightening. A good one for beginners at the Listener. Many thanks, Aelfre. Main problem is going to be writing small enough!

Apologies if I've missed the thread ... but I'm hoping there's a misprint in 5 down. Surely it should be ZJTT?...

Listener 4419 Common Acid Test By Stan

Well certainly not as hard as last week, but still was more challenging than I anticipated.

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 4389: Teeing Off By Nutmeg

A very satisfying puzzle this one, and thankfully easier to make inroads into than last week's. Everything fell into place quite quickly once I had enough answers to have a go at grid entry. I like...

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...

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...

Lovely, thank you, The Tall'n. There was a fine series of penny drop moments leading to a most satisfactory conclusion. Many thanks.
