A good puzzle. I enjoyed solving the clues which were sometimes quite challenging based on the misprint being anywhere in the clue.
The endgame was unambiguous and impressive.
Thanks, Hawk....
Very enjoyable. First time I've ever been the first to post on either forum. Need to sort out the wordplay on three or four radials but more my cup of tea than 4715. Thanks TAoH
Well, I got there. Ten out of ten for the puzzling skill involved in this, Twin. Truly astonishing. But I was left a little deflated with the final step, which could so easily have been at a level to...
A decent puzzle. Most of the normal clues were straightforward but I found a couple of halves of the double clues quite tough.
It all came together neatly enough in the end.
Thanks, Phi....
First solo Listener effort from The Don, the previous one being as part of Donarino in 2019. Not one of the hardest Listeners but enough in it with clashes and extra letters to find to keep you on...
Wow - we were due a difficult one, and this really delivered. A Carte Blanche with precious few ways in, and Sabre's usual convoluted (if always fair) clues made for a *very* slow start. Eventually a...
A delight - not difficult, but all very neat and tidy - a great puzzle for anyone fancying a go at a Listener. Thanks Awinger - I really enjoyed that and now have a happy earworm for the weekend too....
The clues were generally good, although there were a couple of instances where I had determined an extra word in a clue when there wasn't meant to be one. The shading of the 13 cells was...
What a cracking puzzle - a very fair carte blanche with some decent entry points. Excellently hidden wrong letters in some quite elegant clues and then just enough of a hint in the message to make the...
A brilliantly devised trap for the unwary, into which of course I fell. I was expecting to finish this in almost record time until I got to the last stage when, despite having considered the main...
That was a strange journey - Thanks Agricola! I'd be frankly amazed if anyone finds the first two locations before the third, but let's see. I found them in order 3, 2, 1, connection. Some devious...
What a grand puzzle - a carte-blanche with a couple of entry points and then some excellent clueing to make it a real challenge. Well hidden wrong letters too, in a couple of cases. Loved the endgame...
Many thanks to the Times for providing a Christmas Listener, which I particularly appreciate as the current situation meant I couldn't get over to the UK to see my family. A nice festive Listener,...
A decent puzzle with a good mixture of clue difficulty.
The combinations produced results that I had been unaware of before. It's amazing what you don't notice!
Thanks, Buff....
This left me with a smile on my face when I finished. I remember Ares’ last puzzle (4633) involved a trivial grid fill followed by an interminable grid stare, and I feared the same with this one after...
