Listener Crossword 4082

This is a terrific technical challenge, with some fine and fair cluing. It made my head spin towards the end, and I suspect transcription into the final grid is going to be particularly prone to...

Listener 4076: Labour by Elint

Tough debut by Elint this week. Very good surface readings with definitions not always directly linked in Chambers, which I felt made it tougher. I was only mentioning a few weeks back that with the...

Listener 4075 - Square bashing by Arden

Hoorah - numbers. Again one must marvel at the construction. There are some fairly obvious approaches, but I have not ventured into the hinterland much. I do hope the required clues give a...

LIstener 4074 - Printer's Devilry by Qid

This was a good mix of lots of different techniques. Progress was steady until a major PDM when I realised what the keywords were. After that it was very straightforward. I was rather uncomfortable...

Listener Crossword 4070

This week's offering is "The Glady Marsh" by Salamanca. This is only the second Salamanca Listener that I have seen that is not part of his Plays of the Bard series. Another fairly fast grid...

Listener Crossword 4063 - Resident by Hotspur

Down to the final four of the year now, for those who are still in for an all correct year. (Sadly my own ambition dies some weeks ago due to a careless error of transcription.) Have not started yet,...

Listener 4060 - BAT by Schadenfreude

Quite an entertaining puzzle which may take a little bit of thought at the end.

Listener 4059 - Child's play by Dysart

Oh boy, just seen where this one is going. Very nearly finished, but I reckon there's going to be a fair bit of drawing to do, which can wait until tomorrow! Enjoyable diversion, without being too...

Listener Cross word 4058

This week's offering is Whirly-Birly by Sabre. After a run of fairly straightforward puzzles, we have what at first glance looks like a typical Sabre offering - not an "unch" in sight. So,...

Listener 4057 Inside, by Hypnos

Where is everybody? Or are you finding the wordplay as difficult as I did. This was a nice, easy grid fill and the alternatives and associatives were fun, but oh dear, did I struggle with the endgame!...

Listener Crossword 4056

This weeks offering is ROC by Loda. Thanks to my scattergun approach to clue solving, I spoiled this puzzle for myself by getting the theme after only three clues, and the nature of the curved lines...

Listener 4049: The Domino Effect by Googly

The dreaded numbers. Googly was last seen in November 2006 with Solve Two, Get One Free. I enjoyed this. Not too much heavy duty calculator work, and it all fell smoothly into place. Cheers, Googly

Listener 4048: Rules of Construction by Poat

With the thought that I failed on Poat's last 2 listeners, I knew we would be in for some tough clues. Excellent construction, clues (although i havent worked the wordplay out on a couple yet) and a...

Listener 4046: Disagreement by Stan

Enjoyable, and far less taxing than last week. No doubt the theme will not please everybody, but it's very prettily executed, with great economy and no ambiguity.

Listener 4045: Admission by Kea

An exquisite construction by Kea, with a very pretty ending. I found myself making some wild stabs based on the definitions and then working back to the misprinted wordplay before it all fell into...

Listener 4040: In Shock by Hubris

Not too difficult a challenge this week, but I found the highlighting a little disappointing because of the lack of symmetry: a time-invariant version, omitting the central symbol, would have allowed...

A little later than usual getting started with this. Initially I found this a bit of a slog, but once the theme emerged, it all fell into place quite quickly. All in all, an enjoyable solve, but I...
