Title and setter's name (coincidental?) gave big clues to the subject matter, and plenty of thematic material incorporated in resolving the clashes. Interesting clue gimmick especially in the down...
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.
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...
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....
No doubt there's a thread lurking, not yet appearing in AB search, though I've looked hard enough... I failed at the first hurdle - I couldn't find the puzzle! It's usually at the bottom of the home...
Well, tough again. A couple of times I was stuck for a way forward only to find that a clue only leads to a fraction of the legitimate answers expected and a nice interplay of clues and deductions on...
Thanks to Ifor for reminding us of a controversy from a few years back. I don't think too much of a problem should arise here. It could not have been easy to find words to match the requirements of...
Lots of people are having trouble finding it. If you go onto the HOME page of the crossword club site and scroll down to The Listener, you can find it there.
Apologies if another thread has begun; nothing is showing up that it has. On reading the preamble I thought this looked tricky (if not downright impossible). However, the start of the puzzle was very...
Not a difficult grid fill and I had a good idea what I was looking for but it did take a little while to understand what exactly the four groups of omitted letters was about.
Thanks to Nudd....
Another tough puzzle but not as bad as last week's by a long chalk. Once the entry method had been deduced it was much easier to make progress; initially I spent much time staring at the clues without...
I stared at this for a while until my brain clicked into the style of cluing - and then it poured out in a rush. Some neat cluing, some simple. And the end game was amusing. Less of a chore than the...
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....
An interesting treatment of a theme that I happened to come across not 4 hours ago, which certainly helped in identifying what was going on. This felt like a classic solid Listener, with plenty...
