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 4575

An enjoyable workout, albeit that we spotted the thematic words virtually from the off. Back to finish off 4574, having been away most of the week.

Listener Crossword No 4574 Well-Spoken By Miles

Thanks to Miles, another setter new to the Listener? The grid-fill was mostly straightforward, but there were some clever and imaginative clues. I have the theme, though I still haven't quite...

Listener 4568

Took me far too long to twig on to this. Some tough, intricate clues and a few extra letters that could be one or the other - but all is revealed very neatly in the end. A work I possess and shall...

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...

Listener 4566 Dream On

Neatly constructed puzzle with plenty of guidance built in to get you to the theme, and find the features to be highlighted, although one of them is not too easy to find in Chambers. A lot easier than...

Listener 4562: My Nap By Mr Ed

Are we the first? My daughter and I enjoyed this introduction to a little known theme while waiting for the beef to cook (rare). Ingenious use of the instruction. Thanks Mr E, now we have time to...

Listener No 4546 - Ripping Yarn By Nutmeg

A perfectly fine introductory Listener if a little too close to the Spectator genre. Thank you Nutmeg....

Listener Crossword No 4532 How? By Twin

Another tough puzzle but not as bad as last week's by a long chalk. Once the entry method had been deduced it was much easier to make progress; initially I spent much time staring at the clues without...

Listener 4531 Superpower By Shenanigans

I hope nobody minds me starting the ball rolling again. Nice unambiguous ending this week, but rather too much cold solving needed before any sort of grid fill could be attempted. I'll be interested...

Listener 4517 - In Transit By Agricola

This was less fearsome than the preamble suggested it was going to be. All done and dusted apart from seeing how the switching of letter and symbol works - I'll leave that till tomorrow. An odd...

Listener 4514 Cordon By Colleague

Nice theme and some excellent clues but the jumbled entries, combined with a serious amount of guess-and-search for the outer ring, made for far too much cold solving for my liking. If it had been...

Listener 4502: Never-Ending?

This is curious. All done, all seems OK ... and yet I am a letter out in the endgame. I'll assume that I have made a small error. Perversely, I hope that I have and that there isn't a problem here....
