Listener 4137: Frightened Catherine by Ifor

An enjoyable Listener début from Ifor (although a setter that I have solved in the Magpie, EV and IQ). I was wondering why this needed to be a carte blanche as I was solving it, but the little...

Listener 4131 - Carte Blanche en Tore by Ten-Four

Easiest one of the year for me by a long chalk. Am I getting smarter, or are these Listeners getting simpler?

Listener 4126 Arthurian Legend by Corvettes

Wow. Absolutely brilliant. I tried to rotate the rings mentally, but got out the scissors after a few minutes. Then half my letters were upside down, so I printed out a new grid and re-filled it. An...

Listener 4124 Travel Guide by Aedites

Much more fun for me this week, challenging but not daunting. It gets much easier once the theme is grasped, but the final straight line takes a bit of spotting. One of those which manages to be...

Listener No 4120, Cross Country by MynnoT

Listener 4118: Auf Wiedersehen by Loda

I'm delighted to see that there is, after all, a Listener this week, and glad I signed up to the on-line service as our local newsagent does not open on New Year's Day. It's a nice puzzle, but prompts...

Listener Crossword 4117 Great Expectations by Samuel

Listener 4114 - Three Square by Elap

No - I haven't quite finished it yet. Still, one of the joys of a Listener comes when you learn something new, and primitive triangles are new to me. I assume that the numbers in the threes are also...

Listener 4112: Girl by Xanthippe

Really, really laugh-out-loud funny crossword, worth all the struggle through the barless grid and the decent, twisty set of clues. Goodness knows what form you're supposed to submit it in, but no...
