A very enjoyable one session/several glasses of wine challenge with a theme that slowly becomes apparent.

Listener 4493 - Devilry By Nutmeg

All done (bar, if I'm honest, resolving one PD clue, albeit I am certain of the entry). I found the gridfill pretty tough going and, to my surprise, the PD clues seemed to fall more easily than the...

Listener 4493

About two thirds done. Don’t recall a PD puzzle for some time. Trite to say it, given that solving some clues always helps with solving the rest, but one does seem to get into some sort of rhythm...

Listener 4492 Mad Tom's Traps

Took a while to pursue this, and I wasn't sure of it until the end, but I have now caught all the elusive quarries.

Listener 4490 - Rejob By Botox

I came to have a look to see what others thought of this one, but it looks like I'm the first - which must also be a first. The grid fill for Grid A was a bit of a slog, but I thought there was a nice...

Listener 4488

A fairly gentle workout after the rigours of the last weeks but highly enjoyable nonetheless. Steady progress by trial and error after the first grid entry leads to a neat endgame. Many thanks to...

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...

Listener 4486: In Self-Defence

An entertaining puzzle, using a mix of familiar cryptic techniques. We were perhaps fortunate in identifying the run of correct letters after solving about a dozen or so clues.

Listener 4485: Mixed Emotions

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...

Listener 4480 The Code Duello By Agricola

Listener Crossword 4475 Follow The Directions By Artix
