The leporine one always comes up with good puzzles and this didn't disappoint. I found this tricky, not least that it took me a fair while to see how the jumbles could be entered. There are variant...

Listener 4680 Manhunt By Shark

Utterly brilliant! Tough clues and uncertainties in the placing of entries made for a slow, but steady grid fill, and this was rewarded many times over by a stunning endgame. Usually I quail when I...

Listener 4673 Chessboard Carte Blanche By Hedgehog

An unusual, but not difficult numerical. Once I'd broken through, the chessboard restriction made the solution easily accessible with pen and paper, which is exactly how a numerical should be - thanks...

Listener 4671 Ours By Xanthippe

A terrifying preamble. Ugh. Jumbles. Double ugh. Definition/letter mix clues. Ugh to the nth power. Yet this was brilliant! Once the method of entry of the across revealed itself, a smile was...
