Listener 4665 Nostimous By Sabre

A most impressive puzzle, thanks Sabre! Spotting the theme was enjoyable, but then the proper challenge began! It's not my specialist subject, but after a little research they fell one by one, leaving...

Listener 4661 One Across By Lionheart

Lovely puzzle. The grid fill was fun and not too taxing; I enjoyed putting my rudimentary knowledge of the six-letter adjective to use. Despite spotting a couple of names quite soon, it took a fair...

Listener 4659 - Me And My Puzzlers By Wan

A proper workout this week - tough clues throughout, even with clear definitions, but an impressive endgame - thanks Wan! I had a couple of false entries which hampered me for a while, and I still...

Listener 4656 Co-Star By Lysander

I've been doing this puzzle for long enough not to panic when one of these arrives. Eventually I worked out where to attack it, and it succumbed. Thanks Lysander - that was a lot of fun!...

Listener 4654 Unicycle By Remus

Simple, even compared to a few we've had recently - but an excellent entry-level challenge for anyone who fancies a shot at The Listener. The theme has been visited many times, but is nicely...

Listener No 4653 Descent By Gnomish

That was good fun. I thought it was going to be a real stinker until I twigged the theme; I found some of the clues for the jumbles very tough. It didn’t exactly collapse when the theme became clear,...

Listener Crossword No. 4650 Two Names By Deuce

No thread started according to my search. More straightforward than last week's puzzle -- but that wouldn't be difficult. I thought the clues were quite easy and the first name is clear enough. The...

Listener 4649 Get Weaving By Paddock

That was a workout and a half! Despite initial reservations that this was going to be a slog, I really enjoyed it. I'll admit I "solved" most of the across clues by reverse engineering from potential...

Listener No 4645 Fire Alarms By Chen

I am not sure it that was an easy grid fill or if I am just on the setter’s wavelength! Very enjoyable solve in any case, with some wonderful misleading wordplay. I don’t recognise the setter’s name,...

Listener 4644 Symbols By Aedites

A jigsaw grid with entries of uncertain length, and no long answers to help us get started. Is that not one obstacle too many? I certainly thought so after I'd solved all but four of the clues and not...

Listener 4643 - Systematic By Dave

An excellent (and far from easy) puzzle - even after spotting the theme it was tricky to find the correct entries which needed adjustment. Some nice clues too - with very tricky parsing to be done to...

Listener 4642 Music Box By Tnap

I have searched extensively, but that doesn't mean there isn't a previous thread lurking that search can't find. I'll just say that I found this hard work, and add more if this really is the first...

Listener 4639 - Hotfoot By Vismut

A well judged puzzle for this weekend, I thought. Hard enough to satisfy the regulars (with plenty of thematics too) but accessible enough for anyone who fancies a go at something new over the...

Listener 4638 - Head-Start Clues By Elgin

Lots of thematic material. Great fun, thanks Elgin....

Listener 4637 - Realisation

Excellent puzzle - not the hardest, but some nice clues and (for once) a very fair endgame with no gridstaring. Thanks KevGar - I look forward to your puzzles and this was a good one....

Listener 4635 - Two Listeners In One By Extent

Quite a few easy clues but no rubbish. Great fun, with a painless and entertaining finish. Thanks, eXtent....

Listener 4633 - Cool Places Only By Ares

(Am I first? I can't find another thread) A very straightforward grid fill, with the "gimmick" obvious after the first couple of clues. And then a fairly obvious "theme" to look for. But then...a...

Listener 4631 Seconds Out By Stick Insect

A rare occasion where we can say have solved the puzzle but not the normal clues at this moment.

Listener 4630 Tip-Top Condition By Twin

Absolutely brilliant idea and execution. Thanks, Twin....

Listener 4628 Keyworker By Harpy

A magnificent feat of composition and an amusing play on words. Fairly tractable clues but with enough meat on the bone. Thanks, Harpy...
