Listener Crossword No 4600 - Polygram By Opsimath

A nice implementation of a technique we have seen before - the clues were fairly tough but became easier once the theme and symmetry became apparent. Thanks, Opsimath....

We have no idea about what the quotation is but that didn't stand in the way of completing the grid. Perhaps too many easy clues for a Listener. Thanks, tnap....

Listener Crossword No 4597 Bunch Of Fives By Brock

That was HARD! Satisfying though, with just enough grid feedback not to make this a serious case of stubborn sticky label peeling syndrome. A worthy challenge, indeed. Thank you Brock.

Listener 4593 Death Row By Ifor

Striving definitely described what it took to solve this, and probably even more the amount of effort it must have taken Twin to construct it. While I was aware of the thematic subject, it was not by...
