Listener No. 4445: Strange Requests By External

I was lucky in that several of the extra words stood out, for me at least, fairly clearly. Clear but not too difficult clues, and plenty of direction to an unambiguous finish. Good fun, and a few...

Listener No. 4443: Not The Rockies By Kruger

I admit, I made heavy weather of that. The problem was that I didn't get 1d for ages -- not, in fact, until I had cold-solved most of the clues, sorted out the guidance, and got some way through a...

Listener No. 4442: Got Me! By Towser

Grid fill started quickly, but the last few dragged on for a while. I found some of the extra words really hard to spot, and had to go back once I was convinced I had the right number of entries and...

Listener No. 4438 Can't You Do Division? By Oyler

Thanks Oyler for another brilliant puzzle. Is there any way we can access the original puzzle from 50 years ago?...

Listener No 4432

We really struggled with the method of entry until the message helped us. Thank you to Schadenfreude for a really challenging first puzzle of the year.

Listener No. 4430: G&s By Pilcrow

Good fun, if not enormously taxing. I have to admit never having seen the point of the other work, and I'm not a great fan of the method of submission, but neither detracted from my enjoyment of the...

Listener No. 4429: Battleships By Paddock

That took longer than it should: for some reason the NE and SW corners were, for me, much harder than the other two. A nice idea (though an icy shiver ran down my spine as I tried to imagine how this...

Listener No. 4428: Classic Fm Track By Aelfre

A nice brief escape from reality, not at all frightening. A good one for beginners at the Listener. Many thanks, Aelfre. Main problem is going to be writing small enough!

Listener No 4427: Shut That Door! By Bandmaster

I've enjoyed this all the way through. I was lucky in getting the first across and the first down quite quickly, so I could start filling the grid fairly soon. Once the theme became clear it helped to...

Thank goodness for the message, as it allowed me to correct a couple of mistakes in my modification of the grid! Thanks, Harribobs, that was fun....

Listener No 4424: Fieldwork By Ferret

I was a bit later than usual getting started (shopping -- AARGH!) so was glad to find a reasonably straightforward puzzle from Ferret. Thank you, that was fun....

Listener No 4422: Buried Treasure By Poat

Sod's law dictated that the last couple of clues that resisted my attack included clashes, so I had to resort to reverse logic from a guess at the instruction to nail those. It took me a while to get...

Listener No. 4421: Post-It Note By Tramp

Another entertaining puzzle, with nice treatment of the thematic elements. Nothing too challenging, but the extra words were quite smoothly integrated into the clues. I must do some checking, to see...

Well certainly not as hard as last week, but still was more challenging than I anticipated.

A lucky identification after half a dozen letters of the poet and I was off to a good start as I learned the poem at school, and these things never leave you! As Hedge-sparrow has crammed such a mass...

Listener No 4416: Up To 10 Items? By Wan

I don't suppose you'd believe me if I said I'd had to break off to cook the supper, so I'll confess that with most issues resolved and the highlighting done I had two irritating letters still to enter...

Listener No 4415: Right And Left By Ploy

I was lucky enough to start the grid fill the right way round, but in any case the correct way is clear once the fill is well under way. Even with the grid full I had to go back over my rather...

Listener No 4413: Edit By Jago

I thought this was a very nice idea, but I wish there had been more consistency. Perhaps it wasn't possible to find a fourth theme word that would fit -- it's not my area of expertise. Some nice...
