Listener 4801 Homework By Nudd

Well, after last week's offering any puzzle will seem easy. A neat idea well implemented. Pretty much impossible to get to the 12 special entries until the quotation had been obtained. Some of one... ...

Listener 4752 - A Few Far Between By Nutmeg

A fairly early PDM although the final move took a while to identify. Tough but fair cluing and great fun overall. 32d almost brought us to despair but it finally gave up its secret. Thanks, Nutmeg....

Listener 4743 Season's Greetings By Lionheart

And Season's Greetings to you too, Lionheart. A bit of a monster, this one, with quirkiness all the way through it from soup to nuts. Not one for the purists, I'd guess, but I thoroughly enjoyed the...

Listener 4738 Even Odder By Ploy

Thanks, Ploy. I liked the way the message was derived from the grid, but I felt the theme wasn’t really reflected in what turned out to be a fairly standard puzzle of its type - quite a slog, too,...

Listener 4733 Entry Form By Nudd

Quite an entertaining puzzle; medium difficulty although I had to reverse-engineer three or four of the modified answers to solve. Thanks, Nudd....

Listener 4729: If I Must Come By Deuce

Another superlative puzzle. We are being treated at the moment. Some of the 13 word removal clues were very tough, however, all were perfectly fair. I wouldn't have stood much of a chance of finishing...

Listener 4728 - Bream By Check

That was good fun - and a favourite theme for me too. Nice clues, tricky extra letters and some interesting vocab - then a lovely moment of clarity as the grid was filled. Thanks Check...

Listener 4724 - Envy By Quinapalus

Well that was a joy - just right for a warm Friday, when it hasn't delayed the trip to the village for a quiet pint by too long. Nice clues, a concise message and just enough of a challenge as the...

Listener 4717 Unruly Characters By Somniloquist

Well, I've looked for a thread but there doesn't appear to be one. This was a tough puzzle, probably the hardest so far this year. The theme wasn't for me at all (at all) but I enjoyed the clue types....

Listener 4710 - Surprised By Sabre

Wow - we were due a difficult one, and this really delivered. A Carte Blanche with precious few ways in, and Sabre's usual convoluted (if always fair) clues made for a *very* slow start. Eventually a...

Saturday Times The Listener 4703 Saturday March 19Th 2022

The clues were generally good, although there were a couple of instances where I had determined an extra word in a clue when there wasn't meant to be one. The shading of the 13 cells was...
