Help appreciated: 1) King rebuffing a pair of debtors and flunkies (9) 2) Certain workforce in Anaheim move into playground equipment? (11, 2 words) 3) Protestant type lingers around ship's bow and...
Rather surprised to find an Oxymoron puzzle in the Listener. Wasn't that the pseudonym the late, great John Harrington used for Enigmatic Variations, while his Listener and Inquisitor puzzles were set...
I made a mistake and posted this under EV 1658. Some answers are given there, courtesy of ProfessorMaisie. ProfessorM, your 38a hint leads to 4 letter answer, is that correct? Although "N" appears...
A magnificent challenge from Sabre, incredibly tough clues (some distinctly devious) and a great endgame. One of the best in a long time. Thank you Sabre.
I thought I was doing so well when I had A-Z identified using a nice logical process, and working carefully enough that I didn't have to backtrack at any point. It then took me just as long to fill in...

I have a nice full grid, but not a clue what's going on. I don't want to know what the solution is, just that someone out there has seen a regular pattern (or whatever) that makes sense of the thing....
In a way typical of what we expect from Dipper, although harder than recent efforts. Initially a quick start developed into a much slower finish. I enjoyed tracking down the herbs but I thought the...
Though there's another thread on on 4095, and I've contributed to it, this might help get the conversation started, though I suspect not a long one. There really isn't much to this (sorry Llig, and...
