Listener No. 4446: Edwardian Pioneers By Dysart

Thanks, Dysart, for a delightful treatment of a work of which I am very fond. The hidden letter device was tricky this time, and some of the clues were hard -- in fact, I need to go back to one or two...

Listener No 4444 Food For Thought By Handyman

Sheer delight, thank you, Handyman. What beautifully clear cluing and fun from start to finish.

Listener No. 4443: Not The Rockies By Kruger

I admit, I made heavy weather of that. The problem was that I didn't get 1d for ages -- not, in fact, until I had cold-solved most of the clues, sorted out the guidance, and got some way through a...

Listener 4441 It's Dark Up Here By Colleague

I loved this. The PDM really made me laugh, and I’m a great fan of the secondary element of the theme. Excellent clues and a tidy final stage that progressed logically from the theme without a trace...

Most enjoyable, thank you, Mr E. A favourite theme of mine!

Listener No 4439: Where Falls The Axe By Hedge-Sparrow

Another delightfully crafted puzzle by Hedge-sparrow. It wasn't until I had the theme that I could fill the outline of the top left corner and thereby start to fill what was up to then a blank space....

Listener No. 4437: Forgotten Middle Rows By Encota

Wonderful to see this tribute, and quite neatly done too. Many thanks, Encota, this gave me pleasure and reminded me of much pleasure given by the theme....

Listener No 4436 Clean-Up Operation By Aragon

We've spent almost as long grid staring as grid-filling and breathed a massive sigh of relief when the penny (or something) finally dropped. This has been by far the toughest so far this year. Thanks...

Listener No 4435: The Harmony Of Ratios By Ifor

I was lucky with getting the theme fairly quickly (I suppose I've been indoctrinated over the past week or so), but even without that the clues needing two letters cast out would not have been too...

Listener No. 4434: Addresses By Kevgar

Now that I'm done, I'm embarrassed at how long it took me -- I was trying to sort out the first line of the address as I went along, and the P didn't D until right at the end. Many thanks, KevGar,...

Listener No. 4433: Yes You Can By Atlas

The year is still young, and already we have a new setter: welcome, Atlas. I found this trickier than I expected, with some of the incorrect letters hard to spot even when I had the entry, and...

Listener No 4432

We really struggled with the method of entry until the message helped us. Thank you to Schadenfreude for a really challenging first puzzle of the year.

A lovely bit of fun for the last of the year. Thanks to Lavatch

Listener No. 4430: G&s By Pilcrow

Good fun, if not enormously taxing. I have to admit never having seen the point of the other work, and I'm not a great fan of the method of submission, but neither detracted from my enjoyment of the...

Listener No. 4429: Battleships By Paddock

That took longer than it should: for some reason the NE and SW corners were, for me, much harder than the other two. A nice idea (though an icy shiver ran down my spine as I tried to imagine how this...

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!

Listener No 4427: Shut That Door! By Bandmaster

I've enjoyed this all the way through. I was lucky in getting the first across and the first down quite quickly, so I could start filling the grid fairly soon. Once the theme became clear it helped to...

Listener No 4426: Dah-Di-Dah-Di-Dah By Harribobs

Thank goodness for the message, as it allowed me to correct a couple of mistakes in my modification of the grid! Thanks, Harribobs, that was fun....

Listener No 4424: Fieldwork By Ferret

I was a bit later than usual getting started (shopping -- AARGH!) so was glad to find a reasonably straightforward puzzle from Ferret. Thank you, that was fun....

Listener No 4423: A Bit Up In The Air By Phi

A much easier ride than last week's, but with a very neat anagram to settle the final step. I had to work back from the phrase and its anagram to sort out two of the extra words. Many thanks to Phi....
