This week's offering is Metrical Variations by Hedge-sparrow. A typical offering such as we have come to expect from this setter. Some gentle clue and a nice theme. Sadly the final step took me longer...

Listener 4062 - Letter Squares by Elap

Listener 4059 - Child's play by Dysart

Oh boy, just seen where this one is going. Very nearly finished, but I reckon there's going to be a fair bit of drawing to do, which can wait until tomorrow! Enjoyable diversion, without being too...

Listener 4057 Inside, by Hypnos

Where is everybody? Or are you finding the wordplay as difficult as I did. This was a nice, easy grid fill and the alternatives and associatives were fun, but oh dear, did I struggle with the endgame!...

Listener Crossword 4055 fiDlEDE by Waterloo

A fairly typical Waterloo offering with a mix of simple, difficult and amusing clues. The problem is not so much in solving them, but getting the grid entry correct. Another one I think that would be...

Listener 4049: The Domino Effect by Googly

The dreaded numbers. Googly was last seen in November 2006 with Solve Two, Get One Free. I enjoyed this. Not too much heavy duty calculator work, and it all fell smoothly into place. Cheers, Googly

Listener 4048: Rules of Construction by Poat

With the thought that I failed on Poat's last 2 listeners, I knew we would be in for some tough clues. Excellent construction, clues (although i havent worked the wordplay out on a couple yet) and a...

Listener 4046: Disagreement by Stan

Enjoyable, and far less taxing than last week. No doubt the theme will not please everybody, but it's very prettily executed, with great economy and no ambiguity.

I am pretty sure there are no ambiguities with Samuel's effort this time! An enjoyable finish, even though many of the extra letters in the clues stood out very blatantly. This type of cluing is hard...
