I thought the gridfill was OK. Many of the clues were pretty straightforward allowing a well-timed PDM to resolve the difficulties and confirm the theme. The two unclued entries were fine once the...
I made greater headway with the downs than the acrosses so grid filling was slow. Having an idea of the inital letter of an answer literally gives me a head start in solving. A good mixture of clues,...
Another great circular puzzle. I enjoyed solving the clues -- just pitched at the right difficulty. 32 was the final clue for me which I should have solved far quicker! Initial inroads were made in...
Well that was a bit of a struggle but it all worked out in the end. A beautiful construction and how agreeable to have a puzzle that when you have entered all the answers you have finished. Thanks,...
Another cracker from the master of the genre.
So much to enjoy - obscure answers, quality clues, and a tough jigsaw (of sorts) to finish. Thanks, Sabre!...
Another enjoyable puzzle. Not difficult to guess what was required from the word go but the thematic clues were sometimes quite tough -- reverse engineering certainly helped with some of these towards...
Another enjoyable puzzle. It wasn't as daunting as the preamble initially suggested. There was a good mix of clue difficulty -- some very straightforward, others "Sabre-esque". I particularly liked...
A superb, challenging puzzle; one which was difficult to walk away from. Clues were generally excellent (I thought 22 was a tad weak), a nice PDM and a novel endgame. Many thanks, Rebel. Well done!...
Good morning, I’m having a go at the Listener for this week and am encountering some difficulties for which I would appreciate help. Thanks in advance! ( Answers clash in one cell, which must be...
Well that was a tad too straightforward! Admirable construction - let's take nothing away from that. But the clues lack something, cunning perhaps, that makes for a Listener. A good one for a busy...
A superb construction with a good mix of clue difficulty. In a few cases, some clues were very tough indeed which I wouldn't have been able to cold-solve. I'm afraid the "helpful message" came too...
This became so much easier after a few answers had been entered. Up until then it was cold solving until a pair of matching letters was obtained. End result was unambiguous. Many thanks, Demoniacal....
And Season's Greetings to you too, Lionheart. A bit of a monster, this one, with quirkiness all the way through it from soup to nuts. Not one for the purists, I'd guess, but I thoroughly enjoyed the...
