Listener 4613 Escape By Xanthippe

I can't find a thread but no doubt AB search will embarrass me again... This was FUN! I loved the riddles and the way their answers led through the rooms and ultimately to freedom. Excellent clues...

Listener 4611 24 Across By Merlin

I enjoyed this puzzle despite my dislike of some of the subject matter! Not too difficult, though the clashes ensured that some of the clues took a long time to crack. Thanks, Merlin.

Listener 4609 Where Next? By Harribobs

Harribobs can always be relied on to produce a spectacular grid construction - and so he has here. Still, I found the refilling of the grid to be an unrewarding slog, not because the final grid...

Listener 4606 Isolated In May By Dysart

When I saw then title I had a horrible feeling this was going to be a topical puzzle about the C-word but no, the theme turned out to be one of my favourite stories. Beautiful implementation, and if...

Listener 4604 Tour De Force By Kea

An absolute delight. I thought this was going to be impossible at first, but some lucky guesses at the words in Ring 5 proved invaluable. Tough but scrupulously fair clues, and refreshing to have a...

Listener 4603 In Round Numbers By Colleague

Can’t find a thread so here goes. I thought this was going to be another gentle one until I ground to a halt with the last few substitutions. The clues for these were little help and I had to resort...

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 4587 Of Course By Malva

This had a very satisfying PDM which facilitated solving considerably after a slow start. Certainly no pushover but not too hard either, for which I was grateful after an exhausting Christmas. Thanks...

Listener 4581 Transformers By Yorick

Gosh, that was a workout and a half! I'm not certain I've got the final transcription right, but I'm not too bothered as I don't send in. It's clear what's required, though there's plenty of room for...

Autocorrect And Question Titles

I know this is trivial, but can something be done about the automatic "corrections" to question titles which force everything but initial letters to lower case? For example a thread containing "PART...

Listener 4574 Well-Spoken By Miles

I was surprised how quickly (by my standards anyway) I completed the grid, but of course that was the easy part. When I looked the theme up I had to check several times that I had the English page for...

Listener 4570 Bright Spark By Shark

I found this extremely difficult. The clues were tougher (in my view) than we've had for a long time, not helped by the obstacles of clashes and well-disguised extra letters. Despite getting the theme...

New Threads Slow To Show Up In Search

Can anything be done about this? This morning I searched thoroughly for a post on this weekend's Listener puzzle, and when nothing came up I started a thread myself. It turned out that there was an...

Listener 4561 One Or The Other By Hurón

This should satisfy those who found last week's clues too easy (I wasn't one of them). A clever construction and satisfying endgame with no ambiguity, though those who submit may find it difficult to...
