Listener 4672 Form..ation By Mr E

A very enjoyable extra word puzzle, made challenging by excellent clues throughout - thanks, Mr E! The endgame is not difficult to spot, but I don't understand why we need to highlight the...

Listener 4663 Blurred Lines By Skylark

Can’t find a thread so here goes… After last week’s masterpiece from Android, I didn’t envy the setter whose puzzle would follow. So much to live up to, so perhaps the editors wouldn’t bother and...

Listener Crossword 4662 Hungry By Android

A stunning piece of setting, especially if Android is indeed a new setter. Perhaps not especially difficult to get the initial grid fill, but a great achievement to then enable it to produce all real...

Listener 4659 - Me And My Puzzlers By Wan

A proper workout this week - tough clues throughout, even with clear definitions, but an impressive endgame - thanks Wan! I had a couple of false entries which hampered me for a while, and I still...

Magnificent construction and rich in thematic material. Thanks very much, JFD....

Listener 4631 Seconds Out By Stick Insect

A rare occasion where we can say have solved the puzzle but not the normal clues at this moment.

Listener Crossword 4619 Artistic Licence By Serpent

Another reasonably gentle work out, perhaps too many easy clues but fun all the same. Thanks, Serpent....

Listener 4614 - From Here To There By Shenanigans

Another odd one here. There were some terrific clues, and enough entries to get in quickly. The moving words were nicely done, and none too obvious. I really enjoyed the solve, and a nice PDM as to...

Listener Crossword No 4594 Chat By Aedites

At first I thought this was going to be a doddle thanks to some generous clues, but it wasn't at all. Stumbled on the theme fairly early on but working out the message from the extra letters,...

Listener Crossword 4592 Graven Image By Phi

A good challenge from one of the most experienced and prolific setters. Some quite simple clues but plenty of others to keep you on your toes, especially with the alterations going on. Thnks Phi...

Listener 4590 Bros By Vismut

I’ve had the pleasure of testing a couple of Vismut puzzles, though not this one, and she does write some wonderful clues. The clue gimmick where both the misprints and corrections are used is very...

Excellent, thanks Tibea, and not as daunting as I first feared. Some may be aware, I certainly wasn't....

Listener 4588 Black Maria

Well - that didn't take long at all. Entry level (if that), but interesting enough thematic material and a little fiddly at the very end just to keep people on their toes. Thanks Agricola...

Listener No 4586 Square Deal? By Tiburon

A lovely puzzle, thanks, Tiburon. I do like a bit of cut and paste when we are neatly guided to the final arrangement as here. Season's best to all....

Listener Crossword 4572 - Don't Tell By Poat

Daresay I'm not the first to post on this but happy to have assembled a full grid with a reasonable hunch of what the final highlighting will need to reveal but as yet to tackle the final stage....

Listener Crossword No 4570 Bright Spark By Shark

An absolute monster of a puzzle, in the best way. It was challenging at every stage, but there were generous touches (getting some impression of where clashes were and figuring out the thematic name...

Listener Crossword No. 4568 Howsat! By Skylark

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....

Listener 4565 Folio By Nebuchadnezzar

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...
