Rather more short work than sharp, I fear (even allowing for delay in the puzzle being put up on the website); but a gentle romp nonetheless and some good memories reignited (though not of the...
Thanks, Dysart, for a delightful treatment of a work of which I am very fond. The hidden letter device was tricky this time, and some of the clues were hard -- in fact, I need to go back to one or two...
I admit, I made heavy weather of that. The problem was that I didn't get 1d for ages -- not, in fact, until I had cold-solved most of the clues, sorted out the guidance, and got some way through a...
Another delightfully crafted puzzle by Hedge-sparrow. It wasn't until I had the theme that I could fill the outline of the top left corner and thereby start to fill what was up to then a blank space....
Wonderful to see this tribute, and quite neatly done too. Many thanks, Encota, this gave me pleasure and reminded me of much pleasure given by the theme....
Nice straightforward clues, so a fairly quick grid fill, with totally unambiguous instructions to follow for the endgame. I had come across the theme before, and I thought this was a very neat...
I thought I might be in for a bit of grid-staring, but the penny dropped after about half an hour. The amount of thematic material and the construction of the messages is most impressive. A worthy...
Another pleasant puzzle, with unambiguous clues and a pretty, if straightforward, end-game. Thanks to Little Hare, both for the puzzle and for sending me back to the source of the message....
I didn't even think of trying to fit the entries into the grid until I had cold-solved all but six. A couple of false starts, but as usual with this sort of puzzle once a few had slotted together the...
Some fairly straightforward clues, with a lucky guess at 1d and 27d leading inevitably to 17, made this a quick solve. I was held up for a while by 14d and 24d, but I'm looking forward to a bit of...
Some excellent clueing, especially where extra letters were unambiguously indicated. The end result may never win a prize for elegance, even with the speakers revealed, but the gridfill speeds up very...
Wow! After staring at the full grid for hours off and on, I finally saw one of the words...then another..and then I was done. Thanks, Elfman, for a first-rate Listener!
