Well, it took a long time for the penny to drop, not helped by a wrong entry. A neat treatment of the theme, with some tricky wordplay, including the one I got wrong and still haven't figured out...
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...
Really? If I can finish this within an hour, with little reference to the BRB, it is not top rate Listener. I appreciate the effort that goes into the construction, and that is pretty enough. But the...
A fantastic puzzle celebrating a memorable moment. I solved the clues quite quickly but found the long endgame quite fiddly. My only snag is that I have an "I" left over to fit in the bottom row and...
A theme we've seen before I think and one I must revisit. A record time for me and there'll probably be faster ones. On the easy side - but why not? The weather's good and a relief after that spate of...
Either the thread is hiding again or I'm up here first, which I find a bit unlikely. Either I made a complete dog's dinner of this or it was quite difficult to sort out. Devotees might be on to this...
We have completed the satisfying gridfill and identified the work in question but are finding the endgame less than tractable.
Not thinking about it for a while is probably a good idea....
An excellent puzzle - some tough clues but the entry was quite easy. An unambiguous ending leaving time for other weekend activities. A little perplexed by the Emmy Award winner but could only think...
Can't find another thread so ... This is 'Puzzle of the Year' for me thus far; but at a price as it has been a very tough solve. The five different types of clue made for difficult solving as one had...
No crossers as most entries are entered thematically... 7. Fiction right to be dropped from Modern language subject (6) 8. Oliver abandoning wood deviant set alight (4) 12 Content to not dash around...
Refuse Duke Lawrence (5) From the crossers D_O_S this must be DROSS, with D + Ross as wordplay. I don't get why Ross = Lawrence. Is there a former poet or something called Lawrence Ross or Ross...
Quite tough and I made very slow progress until enough of the hint appeared for the name of the song to suggest itself. The moved words were hard to spot as they were well integrated into the clues,...
Am I really first, or is the search playing up again? Fairly gentle from Ferret (for once), but only after solving one of the long Across clues. The displacements are disconcerting and a couple are...
I'm not finding a thread, or having much success with the search box either. From having filled the grid, it has taken me hours to figure out how to actually interpret it, but I have at last got the...
Anyone else having problems with AB pages not loading this morning. Just tried to email AB Towers and got an error message just trying to do that! I’m on iPad....
Looks like some panic set in for some last night as AB just had a few slow running problems. Hope you all didn't have to much of a sleepless night worrying that AB would go down on the weekend. So...
