Listener 4560 Midsummer By Chalicea

Really? If I can finish this within an hour, with little reference to the BRB, it is not top rate Listener. I appreciate the effort that goes into the construction, and that is pretty enough. But the...

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 Crossword 4513 Lost In Translation By Ottorino

A gentler one this week after last week's humdinger. I enjoyed this; the penny drop and endgame was quite satisfying so thanks to Ottorino. Thanks also for educating me with something I never knew...

Listener 4477 Word Squares By Elap

Hmm... I have the values of all but five variables but now find one of them has to be 100. Does anyone know if there are any misprints as all the other values 'hang together'. Nothing on The Listener...

Listener 4464 The Properties Of Numbers Ii By Piccadilly

Absolutely incredible feat to make the set of statements apply both to the numbers and their associated entries. Unfortunately for me, though, I can't see a solution. Having reached an impasse, I...

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...

Thanks Chalicea. Rather simple clues, though, and the theme jumped out a little too obviously....

Listner No. 4455: Silence By Mynot

It took me a little while to spot what was needed in the top and bottom rows, but apart from that a reasonably straighforward offering from MynoT. I was lucky in getting the big word across the middle...

Listener 4451 Numerical Playfair By Zag

Typical Zag, original concept. Not my cup of tea (but then numericals aren't), but appreciate the way it was constructed to an unambiguous gridfill.

Listener No 4449: Whoppers By Nutmeg

Having discarded my pun-rich first draft of my posting, which would have broken our self-imposed rules, I'll confine myself to thanking Nutmeg for an entertaining puzzle. Nice accessible clues, but...

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 4413: Edit By Jago

I thought this was a very nice idea, but I wish there had been more consistency. Perhaps it wasn't possible to find a fourth theme word that would fit -- it's not my area of expertise. Some nice...
