Listener 4651 That's Your Lot! By Ploy

So much to enjoy in this one - thanks, Ploy! Plenty of witty clues, and some very clever treatments of the more obscure words. The endgame was a lot of fun, and captured the essence of the song...

Listener 4649 Get Weaving By Paddock

That was a workout and a half! Despite initial reservations that this was going to be a slog, I really enjoyed it. I'll admit I "solved" most of the across clues by reverse engineering from potential...

Listener 4647 Roundabout Sums By Oyler

I found this a very clever construction, and the message brought a smile. With so few variables, it didn't occupy me for too long, but it's nice to have a straightforward numerical for once. Thanks,...

Listener 4646 Life By Hawk

I found the clues tough to the point of annoyance in the early stages, but it became easier as the thematic material revealed itself. I find this way of presenting the clues adds the extra obstacle of...

Listener No 4645 Fire Alarms By Chen

I am not sure it that was an easy grid fill or if I am just on the setter’s wavelength! Very enjoyable solve in any case, with some wonderful misleading wordplay. I don’t recognise the setter’s name,...

Listener 4644 Symbols By Aedites

A jigsaw grid with entries of uncertain length, and no long answers to help us get started. Is that not one obstacle too many? I certainly thought so after I'd solved all but four of the clues and not...

Listener 4643 - Systematic By Dave

An excellent (and far from easy) puzzle - even after spotting the theme it was tricky to find the correct entries which needed adjustment. Some nice clues too - with very tricky parsing to be done to...

Listener 4642 Music Box By Tnap

I have searched extensively, but that doesn't mean there isn't a previous thread lurking that search can't find. I'll just say that I found this hard work, and add more if this really is the first...

Listener Crossword 4634 Latin Primer By Nipper

Eventually got this completed, at times by plodding rather than by managing a logical sequence of solving. It's a pity something doesn't emerge in the final grid to convince you that it is filled...
