Listener 4687 Best Practice By Ares

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...

Listener 4685 To Good Friends By Little Hare

The leporine one always comes up with good puzzles and this didn't disappoint. I found this tricky, not least that it took me a fair while to see how the jumbles could be entered. There are variant...

Listener 4682 Round Table Man By Banjaluka

I remember when just about every other Listener Crossword used to be like this. Tough clues, tough theme and tough endgame. I thoroughly enjoyed it, thanks Banjaluka!...

Listener 4680 Manhunt By Shark

Utterly brilliant! Tough clues and uncertainties in the placing of entries made for a slow, but steady grid fill, and this was rewarded many times over by a stunning endgame. Usually I quail when I...

I can't find another thread even though this puzzle has taken me 15 hours over two days. So here goes. I have never spent this long on any crossword - not even when I started with the Listener 25...

Listener 4675 Called To Order By Vismut

A much friendlier puzzle this week, very cleverly arranged and clued, and with a surprise ending (I was worried I was going to have to stray into an area well beyond my comfort zone). Thanks Vismut -...

Listener 4674 - Elusive Figures By Poat

The joy I had in finally completing this one was immense - thanks Poat, that was a real treat! The only really picky thing was that some of the removal instructions were less than obvious, but my...

Listener 4671 Ours By Xanthippe

A terrifying preamble. Ugh. Jumbles. Double ugh. Definition/letter mix clues. Ugh to the nth power. Yet this was brilliant! Once the method of entry of the across revealed itself, a smile was...

Listener 4670 Consequence By Ferret

A straightforward gridfill with some attitude added in the endgame. I thought the final part was clever; one of those "you know when it's right" moments hits you. Thanks, Ferret....

Listener 4667 Classicist By Gorrag

Extremely difficult, and unless I've missed something after hours of searching, a certain amount of insider knowledge is necessary to understand some of the thematic connections. I don't possess that...

Listener 4664 - Dream Match By Aver

Thanks, Aver! A steady solve, with an unambiguous finish. It can't be easy setting smooth 'additional-wordplay' clues, but this was a very good set. I enjoyed 10 and 41 particularly....

Listener Crossword 4662 Hungry By Android

A stunning piece of setting, especially if Android is indeed a new setter. Perhaps not especially difficult to get the initial grid fill, but a great achievement to then enable it to produce all real...

Listener 4661 One Across By Lionheart

Lovely puzzle. The grid fill was fun and not too taxing; I enjoyed putting my rudimentary knowledge of the six-letter adjective to use. Despite spotting a couple of names quite soon, it took a fair...
