Listener 4498 - Name That Tune By The Ace Of Hearts

Normally I'm a bit wary of circular grids, but with some fortunate early clue solves I stumbled on the theme, including all of the message from the hidden letters. It's an understatement to say that...

Listener 4493

About two thirds done. Don’t recall a PD puzzle for some time. Trite to say it, given that solving some clues always helps with solving the rest, but one does seem to get into some sort of rhythm...

Listener 4492 Mad Tom's Traps

Took a while to pursue this, and I wasn't sure of it until the end, but I have now caught all the elusive quarries.

Listener 4489 Ocean-Going Vessel

Am I truly first? Loved this one, and have just finally nailed my last replacement. Quick, but very clever.

Listener 4487 By Elgin

After several days in bed with very nasty flu I wasn't on best form to tackle one of the most challenging setters in the business, but lucky guesses and a series of PDMs made this an enjoyable journey...

Listener 4480 The Code Duello By Agricola

A new setter, I believe and he really presented us with a challenge. I dislike Playfair almost as much as jumbles and am really happy that there are programmes that help on line. What a relief when we...

Listener Crossword 4475 Follow The Directions By Artix

A very clever construction form Artix. Grid fill not too difficult, but making sense of the scissor work took a little bit of thought. Other than being aware of the title, I was not familiar with the...

Listener 4472

I can't be the first, can I? A nice gentle workout and amusing connections, one unknown to me although a fan of the area concerned. A slight quibble with the number of cells involving the "ensuing...

Times Listener No 4468 - Hide-And-Seek By Charybdis

Quite surprised to be the first one here. A daunting preamble for sure, but I decided just to start solving and see where it got me. A lovely series of penny drops later, a satisfying solve. Thanks...

Listener 4466 X Xx Xxx By Somniloquist

Most accomplished: tricky devices, clever clues, excellent title, and all the thematic stuff does (eventually) fit together most neatly. If this is a Listener debut, then it's one of the best for some...

Listener No 4463 The Evolution Of East Perry By The Ace Of Hearts

Nice to have a circular one and we were given a very generous hint from the start but the very last two words we had to enter have taken almost as long as the rest of the grid fill. I have had a good...

Listener 4456 Shady Characters By Malva

After quite a long grid stare the light has just dawned - with a smile, of course. When will I learn to read the preamble more carefully! We found some of Malva's clues quite a challenge but are going...

Listener 4451 Numerical Playfair By Zag

Typical Zag, original concept. Not my cup of tea (but then numericals aren't), but appreciate the way it was constructed to an unambiguous gridfill.

Listener No 4439: Where Falls The Axe By Hedge-Sparrow

Another delightfully crafted puzzle by Hedge-sparrow. It wasn't until I had the theme that I could fill the outline of the top left corner and thereby start to fill what was up to then a blank space....

We've spent almost as long grid staring as grid-filling and breathed a massive sigh of relief when the penny (or something) finally dropped. This has been by far the toughest so far this year. Thanks...
