Listener No. 4363: Demolition By Schadenfreude

Listener No 4355: Shorthand Crosses By Aragon

A lovely construction, with fairly straightforward clues. I hadn't come across the verse, and have only been able to locate the vital couplet -- if the rest of it is available I hope somebody will...

Listener 4272 - Bun Fight By Kea

Thanks for a good challenge, Kea. It was a nice challenge to determine the answers that had extra letters and not easy to get the two items from the extra letters. I am a bit concerned about what I...

Listener 4271. Extreme Behaviour By Nudd

A couple of lucky guesses helped me through this, so that I only needed to cold-solve about half a dozen clues before I could start filling the grid-- but admittedly I was lucky with the clues I...

Listener 4269 Journey To The Centre By Ilver

I’m surprised that no one has yet commented on this first-class puzzle. Not the usual numerical but a thoroughly entertaining exercise in logic as well as plenty of clues to solve. Thank you, Ilver....

Listener 4243 Pipes By Samuel

Quite a doozy this week but very enjoyable. Not necessary, of course, but I made copious use of the LEN, MID and VLOOKUP functions in Excel to count string lengths, pick out the Nth letter of the...

Listener 4239 Laureate By Wasp

A fun puzzle, I thought. The theme was unknown to me, so some Googling once the message from the omitted letters was clear was needed. Wikipedia to the rescue. A little more work was needed to get all...

Have grasped the theme but the clues seem to be extremely opaque this week (apart from the easy ones) - is anyone faring better?

Listener 4175 : The Winning Line by Ozzie

Zany clues, almost laugh-a-minute stuff and a remarkable (and surprising) dénouement. Brought much needed mental warmth to the icy surroundings here. Terrific stuff, great fun and the best of...

Listener 4174: The Dentures of Sherlock Holmes by Salamanca
