Listener Crossword 4079

This week's offering is Sine Qua Non by Shackleton. No one should panic that I have finished it already - I've only just read the preamble and feel the need for a lie down in a darkened room. No doubt...

Listener 4078: The Fragmentation of Reality by Lavatch

This one's a gem: don't be put off by the complex instructions or that fearsome 65,536 possible combinations: It all comes out well in the end. Good, fair clues, some lovely PDM's, and a satisfying...

Listener 4076: Labour by Elint

Tough debut by Elint this week. Very good surface readings with definitions not always directly linked in Chambers, which I felt made it tougher. I was only mentioning a few weeks back that with the...

Listener 4073: Quartet by MynoT

I think we have turned a corner in terms of difficulty. Another outstanding grid construction. The lack of unches made the task easier once the quotation was got, but the way it all tied in together...

Listener 4072: The Isolated Word by Ten-Four

I am glad there was no dilemmas here (which was the case for me in "A New Year Message" 2008). As with all of the year's listeners so far, the grid was fairly easy easy to fill, but the...
