Listener 4675 Called To Order By Vismut

A much friendlier puzzle this week, very cleverly arranged and clued, and with a surprise ending (I was worried I was going to have to stray into an area well beyond my comfort zone). Thanks Vismut -...

Listener 4672 Form..ation By Mr E

A very enjoyable extra word puzzle, made challenging by excellent clues throughout - thanks, Mr E! The endgame is not difficult to spot, but I don't understand why we need to highlight the...

Listener 4649 Get Weaving By Paddock

That was a workout and a half! Despite initial reservations that this was going to be a slog, I really enjoyed it. I'll admit I "solved" most of the across clues by reverse engineering from potential...

Listener 4643 - Systematic By Dave

An excellent (and far from easy) puzzle - even after spotting the theme it was tricky to find the correct entries which needed adjustment. Some nice clues too - with very tricky parsing to be done to...

Listener 4587 Of Course By Malva

This had a very satisfying PDM which facilitated solving considerably after a slow start. Certainly no pushover but not too hard either, for which I was grateful after an exhausting Christmas. Thanks...

Listener Crossword No. 4563 Odd One Out By Sabre

I'm surprised there isn't a thread ... perhaps there is, and the Search facility is failing again. I finished this puzzle last night which must be a first with Sabre and tells me it wasn't as...

Listener 4531 Superpower By Shenanigans

I hope nobody minds me starting the ball rolling again. Nice unambiguous ending this week, but rather too much cold solving needed before any sort of grid fill could be attempted. I'll be interested...

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 4523: A Tale Of Two Cities By Wan

A skilful implementation of a delightful theme. I found the clues incredibly tough, especially where clashes were involved, and spent almost as long getting the last few answers as I did on the rest...

Listener 4518 - Game Box By Poat

I was absolutely loving this crossword, but then got to the point where I'd completed the grid, used exactly the letters given and identified exactly ten targets of the specific kind - but only used...

Listener 4514 Cordon By Colleague

Nice theme and some excellent clues but the jumbled entries, combined with a serious amount of guess-and-search for the outer ring, made for far too much cold solving for my liking. If it had been...

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 4506 Multiple Deletions By Ifor

After last week's Sabre I was expecting something simple - wrong! Was head scratching and cold solving for ages until I rumbled the verse and then had the huge PDM. Thought the 18 opposing pairs were...

This had all the elements to make it extremely daunting: Sabre - check; unconventional grid - check; long, complicated preamble - check! And it lived up to its billing. How does Sabre manage to make...

Most accomplished: tricky devices, clever clues, excellent title, and all the thematic stuff does (eventually) fit together most neatly. If this is a Listener debut, then it's one of the best for some...

Listener No 4463 The Evolution Of East Perry By The Ace Of Hearts

Nice to have a circular one and we were given a very generous hint from the start but the very last two words we had to enter have taken almost as long as the rest of the grid fill. I have had a good...
