Listener No. 4357: Aft By Nutmeg

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...

Listener 4356 Mashonaland By Raffles

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...

Listener 4352 What’S Missing? By Artix

Excellent puzzle. Totally misinterpreted the first missing item I found, then spent about three hours looking for eight more similar items, before realising I had led myself well up the garden path....

Listener No 4351: Failed Attempt By Wiglaf

One of the quickest solves of the year -- the definitions-only clues fell rapidly once the first was solved, and the final sentence was fairly easy to spot. Sorry, Wiglaf, but I'm left wanting a bit...

Liststener No. 4349: Black Or White By Pilcrow

Goof fun, with a groan when I saw where the end-game was going. Enough tricky clues to slow the solution process down to a normal Listener pace. Many thanks, Pilcrow....

Listener No. 4345: Essentials By Samuel

The length of the preamble was a bit off-putting, but taking my courage in both hands and plunging in showed enough fairly straightforward clues to be able to get started. The last step was a bit...

Listener No. 4343: Bear, Bear, Bearing By Chalicea

A fairly typical Chalicea puzzle: nice use of theme, clues not too challenging (though I struggled for a while to find the extra letters in some of the mid-range down clues). A very pleasant exercise:...

Listener 4340 Red Shift By Nudd

With Shackleton last week and now this puzzle, the Listener is finally picking up pace after a rather slow start to the year. This puzzle is fun. Straightforward fill and a pleasing endgame. Puzzles...

Listener No 4338 A Game Of 15 By Glow-Worm

Another fairly straightforward grid-fill, though deciphering some of the 15ing was a little trickier. The finish raised a smile. Thanks Glow-worm....

Listener 4328: Reductio Ad Absurdum By Stick Insect

The title just about sums up my feelings about this one: sorry, Stick Insect, but I was hardly into gear before I finished. Perhaps we'll see a few newcomers to the Listener fold encouraged by an...
