Listener 4484 Quiet Guests By Schadenfreude

An absolutely first-rate puzzle to start the year. I felt smug having got the basis of the theme from the first "crowded cell" I came across along with the title, but then there was the small matter...

Listener 4482 A Paper Construction

Four fifths of the grid solved and we have the central area. Some work to do yet, and we are absolutely not fans of folding.

Listener 4480 The Code Duello By Agricola

A new setter, I believe and he really presented us with a challenge. I dislike Playfair almost as much as jumbles and am really happy that there are programmes that help on line. What a relief when we...

Listener No 4478 Chapstick By Tangram

This was pretty tough. I have three of the five characters, so i hope it's just a matter of time and that I can shortly get back to listening and not listener. Highly engrossing - many thanks to...

Listener No 4476 His By Nebuchadnezzar

This has certainly been the most difficult for us this year. However, it has been so interesting and challenging that we have stayed up well after midnight (for us) to finish it, unable to leave it as...

Listener Crossword 4475 Follow The Directions By Artix

A very clever construction form Artix. Grid fill not too difficult, but making sense of the scissor work took a little bit of thought. Other than being aware of the title, I was not familiar with the...

Saturday Times The Listener 4473 - Hit And Run By Ifor Friday October 20Th 2017

Surprised again not to find anyone else here already. This was quite fiddly, and I still haven’t parsed all of the clues for the extra letters. I *think* I understand the second instruction, but...

Listener No 4471 What Can The Matter Be? By Flying Tortoise

With quite a bit of surprise and head scratching, we have a full grid. It took a lucky early spotting of the theme to speed our solve up enormously. I thought this was quite challenging. Thank you,...

Listener 4470 (Rod And Bill)

I couldn't see an earlier thread .. but I'm guessing that there must be one. A curious puzzle. Some very easy clues, but coupled with a bit of trickery. It was enjoyable, but some debate will ensue...

Listener No 4463 The Evolution Of East Perry By The Ace Of Hearts

Nice to have a circular one and we were given a very generous hint from the start but the very last two words we had to enter have taken almost as long as the rest of the grid fill. I have had a good...
