I thought the clues were set at the ideal level of difficulty -- difficult but not so fiendish as to lose the all-important enjoyment factor. The endgame is curious; no problem with the final bits... ...

Well, after last week's offering any puzzle will seem easy. A neat idea well implemented. Pretty much impossible to get to the 12 special entries until the quotation had been obtained. Some of one... ...

No thread appears to have been started, which is a surprise. I thought this puzzle was exceptionally neat. Some nice clues too. Many thanks, Ploy.

A gentle start to the New Year - well composed with a worthy theme let down by some dull cluing.

Thanks, Karla.

Another setter new to the Listener? We always like to see new gimmicks being used in the clues and we got that here alright, but perhaps like the plot of the film, I found it all very complicated.... ...

Third puzzle in a row with the  name of a film with die in it as the puzzle title. Can the editors keep the sequence going? This was an easier puzzle than of late with some rather obvious clues but... ...

A tough puzzle with frugal clues, treated throughout, but it all came together in a great ending. I loved it - many thanks, Charybdis.

A very enjoyable puzzle to crack - many thanks, Quinapalus. So many original features in this one. The double/partial wordplay was an interesting idea. The only criticism I have is the huge scope... ...

Not the first outing for this theme in the Listener, but not for some time. Plenty of thematic material, some cleverly worked clues, not all the misprints jumping out. A good challenge. Thanks, JFD

A nice puzzle. I loved the idea of the answers representing pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. Fortunately the Across and Down clues were generously straightforward otherwise cold-solving all of the... ...

Can't see another thread on this one so I'll pitch in. Thought it was a striaghtforward gridfill but had to massage the maths a little for the highlighting. Thanks Skylark

To be honest we don't quite see the "similar" shapes in the mathematical sense although all the thematic elements resolve themselves nicely.

A fun puzzle, which appeared daunting, but got rapidly easier once answers could be entered into the grid. The endgame was neat, and very little grid staring was required. Many thanks, Mozart!     I... ...

Incredible! Easily my favourite Kea puzzle, and the best Listener so far this year. Just so rich in the theme and all the diverse gimmicks throughout. Thanks Kea!

A somewhat fiddly puzzle, involving altered clues, altered entries and a grid search, but it all works out unambiguously in the end. Many thanks, Ifor!

Great fun and the theme is not as recherché as we first imagined. Thanks, The Usher....

I thought the gridfill was OK. Many of the clues were pretty straightforward allowing a well-timed PDM to resolve the difficulties and confirm the theme. The two unclued entries were fine once the...

I thought this was a terrific puzzle, challenging to the end, and with one of the best sets of clues for a while. Wonderful, thanks, Tringa...
