Listener No 4278: Generalisation By Samuel

This was a very clever idea by Samuel. Despite getting the theme quite quickly and also deducing the quotation, it took me quite a while to solve all the clues and to construct the grid. But there was...

Listener Crossword No 4276 Fore And Aft By Poat

I thought this was a reasonably straightforward offering from Poat. Fairly obvious what was going on from an early stage but none the worse for that. Just a few wordpalys to resolve and then it's back...

Listener Crossword No 4275 Make A Connection By Ioa

Is there a tradition to start the year with an extra-easy puzzle? This one certainly fits the bill but nonetheless has some nice touches (and not too much gridstaring in the end) even if the clues...

Listener Crossword No 4274 -- Sonamb By Porlock

Listener 4272 - Bun Fight By Kea

Thanks for a good challenge, Kea. It was a nice challenge to determine the answers that had extra letters and not easy to get the two items from the extra letters. I am a bit concerned about what I...

Listener 4271. Extreme Behaviour By Nudd

A couple of lucky guesses helped me through this, so that I only needed to cold-solve about half a dozen clues before I could start filling the grid-- but admittedly I was lucky with the clues I...

Listener 4269 Journey To The Centre By Ilver

Listener Crossword No 4267 German Serial Composition By Quinapalus

Listener No 4265 Ability By Kruger

Again, not too tricky. I admit, though, to having got the word from the quotation rather than by more direct means, and I should go back and check where two of the letters came from. Thanks, Kruger....
