Listener 4233: Elementary By Wan

Good grief, I can't believe I'm starting this thread off! I thought this was an excellent puzzle by Wan. Very clever how the clues read on the surface and still produce real words after the...

Listener 4232 A Murder Mystery By Hedge-Sparrow

What a long preamble, but what a fun puzzle. It took me a few minutes to get what the down message was telling me, but the P D'd, all was clear. Thanks hedge-sparrow.

Listener 4225 Innings / Outings By Mohawk

With seemingly no-one yet posting I thought I would have some fun as I have not started a thread before. Some clues a lot trickier than recent weeks given the varying clue options etc., I'm only about...

Listener 4199 Scattered by Kea

Listener 4137: Frightened Catherine by Ifor

An enjoyable Listener début from Ifor (although a setter that I have solved in the Magpie, EV and IQ). I was wondering why this needed to be a carte blanche as I was solving it, but the little...

Really, really laugh-out-loud funny crossword, worth all the struggle through the barless grid and the decent, twisty set of clues. Goodness knows what form you're supposed to submit it in, but no...
