The Listener Crossword 4785 - Sampler By Skylark

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

Listener 4782 Life 2 By Hawk

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

A tour de force, thanks Hawk.

Listener 4781 Joint Submission By Mozart

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!

Listener 4779 Keen By Ifor

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!

Listener 4774 The Usher By Hidewell

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

Listener 4773 Cheesy By Deuce

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...

I made greater headway with the downs than the acrosses so grid filling was slow. Having an idea of the inital letter of an answer literally gives me a head start in solving. A good mixture of clues,...

Listener 4767 Violin Wire By The Ace Of Hearts

Another great circular puzzle. I enjoyed solving the clues -- just pitched at the right difficulty. 32 was the final clue for me which I should have solved far quicker! Initial inroads were made in...

Well that was a bit of a struggle but it all worked out in the end. A beautiful construction and how agreeable to have a puzzle that when you have entered all the answers you have finished. Thanks,...

Listener 4766 - Weaver By Sabre

Another cracker from the master of the genre. So much to enjoy - obscure answers, quality clues, and a tough jigsaw (of sorts) to finish. Thanks, Sabre!...

Listener 4762 Case-Sensitive By Aedites

Another enjoyable puzzle. Not difficult to guess what was required from the word go but the thematic clues were sometimes quite tough -- reverse engineering certainly helped with some of these towards...

Another enjoyable puzzle. It wasn't as daunting as the preamble initially suggested. There was a good mix of clue difficulty -- some very straightforward, others "Sabre-esque". I particularly liked...

Listener 4760 Queen By Rebel

A superb, challenging puzzle; one which was difficult to walk away from. Clues were generally excellent (I thought 22 was a tad weak), a nice PDM and a novel endgame. Many thanks, Rebel. Well done!...

Listener 4758 - Tunnel Vision 2 By Chalicea

Well that was a tad too straightforward! Admirable construction - let's take nothing away from that. But the clues lack something, cunning perhaps, that makes for a Listener. A good one for a busy...

Listener 4757 Order, Order! By Dolas

A superb construction with a good mix of clue difficulty. In a few cases, some clues were very tough indeed which I wouldn't have been able to cold-solve. I'm afraid the "helpful message" came too...

This became so much easier after a few answers had been entered. Up until then it was cold solving until a pair of matching letters was obtained. End result was unambiguous. Many thanks, Demoniacal....
