Listener Crossword No 4573 Jean's Stuff By Schadenfreude

A fine final Listener from one of the master setters. He will be missed. Perhaps not his most difficult, but I should have realised the theme more quickly. Some well concealed misprints meant I did...

Daresay I'm not the first to post on this but happy to have assembled a full grid with a reasonable hunch of what the final highlighting will need to reveal but as yet to tackle the final stage....

Another delightful offering from Hedge Sparrow, as ever neat and precise. Some decent clues too, but unambiguous and a new PB for me finishing so early on a Friday evening so I can enjoy the sun...

Listener 4566 Dream On

Neatly constructed puzzle with plenty of guidance built in to get you to the theme, and find the features to be highlighted, although one of them is not too easy to find in Chambers. A lot easier than...

Listener 4565 Folio By Nebuchadnezzar

No doubt there's a thread lurking, not yet appearing in AB search, though I've looked hard enough... I failed at the first hurdle - I couldn't find the puzzle! It's usually at the bottom of the home...

Listener 4562: My Nap By Mr Ed

Are we the first? My daughter and I enjoyed this introduction to a little known theme while waiting for the beef to cook (rare). Ingenious use of the instruction. Thanks Mr E, now we have time to...

Listener Crossword No 4561 One Or The Other

Well, it took a long time for the penny to drop, not helped by a wrong entry. A neat treatment of the theme, with some tricky wordplay, including the one I got wrong and still haven't figured out...

Listener No.4559 G By Xanthippe

A fantastic puzzle celebrating a memorable moment. I solved the clues quite quickly but found the long endgame quite fiddly. My only snag is that I have an "I" left over to fit in the bottom row and...

Listener No 4558

A theme we've seen before I think and one I must revisit. A record time for me and there'll probably be faster ones. On the easy side - but why not? The weather's good and a relief after that spate of...

Listener No 4557

Either the thread is hiding again or I'm up here first, which I find a bit unlikely. Either I made a complete dog's dinner of this or it was quite difficult to sort out. Devotees might be on to this...

Well, tough again. A couple of times I was stuck for a way forward only to find that a clue only leads to a fraction of the legitimate answers expected and a nice interplay of clues and deductions on...

We have completed the satisfying gridfill and identified the work in question but are finding the endgame less than tractable. Not thinking about it for a while is probably a good idea....

And there was me hoping for a gentle one this weekend! This seemed impossible for a long time then inspiration finally dawned and things got moving. I'm not 100% certain that I've got the unusual...

Listener No 4550

I thoroughly enjoyed this. A classic Listener in a way and challenging enough too in parts; excellent tricky clues involving the switching of words and a theme I wasn't familiar with gradually and...
