A very enjoyable one session/several glasses of wine challenge with a theme that slowly becomes apparent.

Listener 4493 - Devilry By Nutmeg

All done (bar, if I'm honest, resolving one PD clue, albeit I am certain of the entry). I found the gridfill pretty tough going and, to my surprise, the PD clues seemed to fall more easily than the...

Took a while to pursue this, and I wasn't sure of it until the end, but I have now caught all the elusive quarries.

Listener 4489 Ocean-Going Vessel

Am I truly first? Loved this one, and have just finally nailed my last replacement. Quick, but very clever.

Listener 4485: Mixed Emotions

Hmm. Mixed emotions for me. An intriguing effort that revealed itself fairly quickly. Not enamoured with 22A, 28D or 31D....

Listener 4482 A Paper Construction

Four fifths of the grid solved and we have the central area. Some work to do yet, and we are absolutely not fans of folding.

Listener No 4471 What Can The Matter Be? By Flying Tortoise

With quite a bit of surprise and head scratching, we have a full grid. It took a lucky early spotting of the theme to speed our solve up enormously. I thought this was quite challenging. Thank you,...

Listener 4470 (Rod And Bill)

I couldn't see an earlier thread .. but I'm guessing that there must be one. A curious puzzle. Some very easy clues, but coupled with a bit of trickery. It was enjoyable, but some debate will ensue...

Times Listener No 4468 - Hide-And-Seek By Charybdis

Quite surprised to be the first one here. A daunting preamble for sure, but I decided just to start solving and see where it got me. A lovely series of penny drops later, a satisfying solve. Thanks...

Listener No 4467 Theme Of The Day By Kea

Thanks Kea for a rather beautiful construction. At first glance, I thought it was going to be much tougher (particularly as, for about the first 10 minutes, I managed to overlook the fact that the...

Listener 4466 X Xx Xxx By Somniloquist

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...

Listener Crossword 4462 : Squares By Phi

No, I am not a genius - the simple truth is that the puzzle was put up on the Times website this morning, albeit originally without a title or setter. New theme to me, and some difficult clues, but...

Listener 4461: Dilemma By Aedites

A gentler test than last week, that's for sure. The penny dropped with most of the right hand side of the grid filled - a nice treatment of a familiar theme.

Great fun, thank you Serpent. We filled the lower half with little difficulty but had a struggle to complete the 'upper part'. Definitely one for the men this time. It was more difficult than last...
