Listener 4577 - The Gaudy

A brisk romp through some neat (but not too taxing) clues and then a mercifully brief grid stare - another entry-level Listener, but a very pleasant one. Thanks Paddock - plenty of time now for the...

Listener 4576 Striving By Twin

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...

Listener 4575

An enjoyable workout, albeit that we spotted the thematic words virtually from the off. Back to finish off 4574, having been away most of the week.

Listener Crossword No 4574 Well-Spoken By Miles

Thanks to Miles, another setter new to the Listener? The grid-fill was mostly straightforward, but there were some clever and imaginative clues. I have the theme, though I still haven't quite...

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 Crossword No 4573 Jean's Stuff By Schadenfreude

A fine final Listener from one of the master setters. He will be missed. Perhaps not his most difficult, but I should have realised the theme more quickly. Some well concealed misprints meant I did...

Daresay I'm not the first to post on this but happy to have assembled a full grid with a reasonable hunch of what the final highlighting will need to reveal but as yet to tackle the final stage....

Listener Crossword No. 4571 International Standards Organisation By Harribobs

(I don't think there's an existent thread) This was a very neat puzzle and, mercifully, the clues were far easier than last week's puzzle. Nevertheless, there were some tricky clues... The endgame was...

Listener Crossword No 4570 Bright Spark By Shark

An absolute monster of a puzzle, in the best way. It was challenging at every stage, but there were generous touches (getting some impression of where clashes were and figuring out the thematic name...

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...

Listener Crossword No. 4568 Howsat! By Skylark

Not a bad puzzle although some of the 3 letter entries made it difficult to ascertain the extra letter. Initially I had a perfectly acceptable alternative answer for 29ac. Not my kind of theme at all....

Listener 4567 Going Concern

Another delightful offering from Hedge Sparrow, as ever neat and precise. Some decent clues too, but unambiguous and a new PB for me finishing so early on a Friday evening so I can enjoy the sun...

Neatly constructed puzzle with plenty of guidance built in to get you to the theme, and find the features to be highlighted, although one of them is not too easy to find in Chambers. A lot easier than...
