I'm not finding a thread, or having much success with the search box either. From having filled the grid, it has taken me hours to figure out how to actually interpret it, but I have at last got the...
Thanks to Ifor for reminding us of a controversy from a few years back. I don't think too much of a problem should arise here. It could not have been easy to find words to match the requirements of...
Finished this eventually last night, complete with Maxim and Item, but i have had to sleep on it to convince myself that what I have satisfies the preamble. Perhaps I should have had a drink before I...
Lots of people are having trouble finding it. If you go onto the HOME page of the crossword club site and scroll down to The Listener, you can find it there.
This was an interesting challenge - easy to get off to a flying start but I got quite bogged down in the 12-letter answers. The grid structure and the format of the Round clues were new to me, which...
Not a difficult grid fill and I had a good idea what I was looking for but it did take a little while to understand what exactly the four groups of omitted letters was about.
Thanks to Nudd....
I really enjoyed this one, the theme revealed itself early enough to be a great help in dealing with clashes. Lots and lots of thematic material throughout. Nice to see a new setter too - thanks...
I can't be the first, surely? I can't remember when I last sat in front of a Listener for so long with so little idea of what was going on. My first trawl through the clues produced virtually nothing...
Another great puzzle from the Ace of Hearts. I usually find this type of circular puzzle tricky and this one was no exception. A very nice theme very well executed - many thanks!
I stared at this for a while until my brain clicked into the style of cluing - and then it poured out in a rush. Some neat cluing, some simple. And the end game was amusing. Less of a chore than the...
I hope nobody minds me starting the ball rolling again. Nice unambiguous ending this week, but rather too much cold solving needed before any sort of grid fill could be attempted. I'll be interested...
One word: wow! This was an incredible construction on a par with the original Quads from 2015. The subterfuge of the mutilated definitions was a new one for me, and each stage of solving was a...
A delightful puzzle that is typical of this setter. Not too difficult but always entertaining - a characteristic that is often overlooked. Thanks Hedge-sparrow
A skilful implementation of a delightful theme. I found the clues incredibly tough, especially where clashes were involved, and spent almost as long getting the last few answers as I did on the rest...
