Listener No 4369: Golf... By Xanthippe

The grid fill was not as hard as I had expected, as spotting the treatment of the holes was a great help. I'm sure I'll have mucked up the last step, however, as i'm in the "good walk ruined" camp....

Listener No 4367: Identity Crisis By Sabre

An excellent challenge from Sabre, and certainly had to use all the available information to make headway on this. Full quotation and author only revealing itself right at the end.

Listener 4360 What A Turn-Up! By Ioa

Great fun all the way through. Required only elementary number-crunching so numerophobes should not be put off. And a very neat and satisfyingly unambiguous ending, so thanks all round to IOA for a...

Listener 4358 The Other Letter By Wan

Can't find an earlier post. Quite a challenge from Wan with some tricky wordplays and misprints/extra letters. Highlighting not too difficult if you have an idea where to look. Thanks to Wan...

Listener 4331 By Loda

Well, those who have been moaning that the early ones were too easy have what they wanted here. This has been a real challenge, growing easier as it progressed, of course. We still have some ends to...

Listener 4328: Reductio Ad Absurdum By Stick Insect

The title just about sums up my feelings about this one: sorry, Stick Insect, but I was hardly into gear before I finished. Perhaps we'll see a few newcomers to the Listener fold encouraged by an...

Listener No 4327 The Alcoholic Baseball Player By Waterloo

Hoho!! Cracker-style literary jokes from Mr Waterloo ... some suitably making one groan, others raising a broad smile: I particularly liked 40ac. Gentle romp. Happy New Year to all ABers and many...

Listener 4326, Coincidence By Sabre

I've searched bu apparently there is no Friday club for this very difficult offering by Sabre. I just got 17acr so I've finally finished. Phew! One of the hardest of the year, for sure. Thanks Sabre!...

Listener 4325, Christmas Break By Poat

The theme has had a lot of exposure recently, but that does not detract from this delightful treatment by Poat. All comes together in a most pleasing way....

Listener 4318: Wordplay By Schadenfreude

Listener No 4315 Homer By Dysart

Very enjoyable, thanks, Dysart. I am just getting the scissors out to mutilate my grid (not as fiddly and worrying as I initially feared it might be!) Finding those ten letters missing from wordplay...

Listener No 4314 Renewable Energy By 'eck

What a brilliant use of the circular grid. This has been a remarkable piece of compiling and an extremely difficult puzzle which became easier as we progressed (suddenly dramatically so!)....

Listener 4312: Elementary Deduction By Rood
