Listener Crossword 4621 - True By Piccadilly

Can't imagine I'm the first to cross the line with this one but after a slowish start it was a pleasant stroll - and delighted that, probably the first time ever, I didn't fall prey to the denouement

Listener No 4620 Six-Pack By Hedge-Sparrow

I had just finished, and thoroughly enjoyed, a Hedge-sparrow puzzle in Magpie and found myself treated to another directly. This one looked daunting from the preamble, but it didn’t turn out to be too...

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 4618: You Don't Say By Stick Insect

I found this very easy, but very enjoyable too - confirmation that a puzzle can be both things. The only downside is that I have no excuse not to go back and try to finish last week’s. Thanks very...

Listener 4617 Selfie By Sabre

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.

Listener 4616 Disco Lovers By The Ace Of Hearts

The perimeter entries were a great help once the link between them became clear. The ungenerous checking is a serious obstacle when you've got letters latent, uncertain entry points and some very...

Listener No 4615 Ancient Mariner By Tringa

A clever idea with plenty of thematic material in the grid (once you knew what the theme was.) Some easy clues got me started but then things slowed a bit with one or two fairly obscure definitions...

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 4612 - Family Man By Duck

A bit of a puzzle, this one. I would not say it was over simple, but I finished it by 10 yesterday. I think that it had a momentum, that as the clues were solved, there was the chocolate addict's...

Listener 4610 Tale Of The Unexpected By Lath

A comparatively easy grid-fill this week though events have rather overtaken the relevance at the moment. It does take a bit of inspiration to figure out the precise nature of the event and either...

Listener 4609 Where Next? By Harribobs

Harribobs can always be relied on to produce a spectacular grid construction - and so he has here. Still, I found the refilling of the grid to be an unrewarding slog, not because the final grid...

Listener Crossword 4608 Keep Your Distance By Pandiculator

Taken me a good few hours, but with instructions still to stay at home and a howling gale outside, not a bad way to pass the time. No need for spreadsheets, and not too much need for calculators...

Listener Crossword No 4597 Bunch Of Fives By Brock

That was HARD! Satisfying though, with just enough grid feedback not to make this a serious case of stubborn sticky label peeling syndrome. A worthy challenge, indeed. Thank you Brock.

Listener Crossword No 4595 Equality By Elap

Am I the first? I’m simply astounded by the result. Number theory is just an amazing thing to delve - thanks Elap. And a decent pen/paper/calculator one, too! Although my final checking was reliant...

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

Listener 4587 Of Course By Malva

This had a very satisfying PDM which facilitated solving considerably after a slow start. Certainly no pushover but not too hard either, for which I was grateful after an exhausting Christmas. Thanks...

Listener Crossword 4585 - In This World Of Sin... By Pointer

Well- halfway stage for me. An seemingly impenetrable grid fill has finally fallen into place and I have four spare words to play with but not a lot of idea of what happens next. Hmmm
