Listener 4531 Superpower By Shenanigans

I hope nobody minds me starting the ball rolling again. Nice unambiguous ending this week, but rather too much cold solving needed before any sort of grid fill could be attempted. I'll be interested...

Listener 4530 Gallery By Phi

A novel way to make use of a circular grid, which all fell neatly into place. I made rather heavy weather of the ring clues, often losing my place when trying to follow the entries round the grid....

Inquisitor 1566

Can some kind soul please explain how this parses and put me out of my misery? Attractive place visited by our Jack Warren (6) The answer has to be BURROW and the wordplay leads to the answer with an...

Listener 4523: A Tale Of Two Cities By Wan

A skilful implementation of a delightful theme. I found the clues incredibly tough, especially where clashes were involved, and spent almost as long getting the last few answers as I did on the rest...

Clue In Independent 9972

There's a clue in this puzzle by Phi which nobody on Fifteen Squared has managed to explain satisfactorily. Abandon something implied in 14? (4,4) The answer to 14 is SWAN LAKE and the answer to this...

Listener 4514 Cordon By Colleague

Nice theme and some excellent clues but the jumbled entries, combined with a serious amount of guess-and-search for the outer ring, made for far too much cold solving for my liking. If it had been...

Listener 4509 Disappearances By 'eck

I can't find another thread so here goes. What an absolutely brilliant endgame! How setters can achieve such complex constructions so elegantly, I will never know. The denouement went a long way...

Listener 4487 By Elgin

After several days in bed with very nasty flu I wasn't on best form to tackle one of the most challenging setters in the business, but lucky guesses and a series of PDMs made this an enjoyable journey...

Mephisto 2993

Can anyone offer a hint as to how the wordplay for 16 across works? The clue is Inquire?! (6) The answer is obvious from the crossers, and is a synonym for INQUIRE. But the only possible wordplay I...

Listener 4484 Quiet Guests By Schadenfreude

An absolutely first-rate puzzle to start the year. I felt smug having got the basis of the theme from the first "crowded cell" I came across along with the title, but then there was the small matter...

Tech Help Sought - Can't Access Ab With My Ip

Can some tech savvy person help me please? I can't really do a TL;DR version of this, though I'll try to be as brief as possible. I can always provide more detail later. Since Monday (10/7) I can't...

Listener 4455: Silence By Mynot

Am I really the first to have finished this interesting but relatively straightforward puzzle? Or have the this site's best solvers been dissuaded from posting for fear of being accused of showing...

Listener 4441 It's Dark Up Here By Colleague

I loved this. The PDM really made me laugh, and I’m a great fan of the secondary element of the theme. Excellent clues and a tidy final stage that progressed logically from the theme without a trace...

Mephisto 2940

28 across fills itself in as COT (unless I've got something wrong). How does this work? The clue is She's all thumbs but left for Malbec (3) Also, unless I've misunderstood, "Military club" appears to...
