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 4669

My better half cracked what was going on at an early stage. Good fun.

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 4665 Nostimous By Sabre

A most impressive puzzle, thanks Sabre! Spotting the theme was enjoyable, but then the proper challenge began! It's not my specialist subject, but after a little research they fell one by one, leaving...

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...

Listener 4659 - Me And My Puzzlers By Wan

A proper workout this week - tough clues throughout, even with clear definitions, but an impressive endgame - thanks Wan! I had a couple of false entries which hampered me for a while, and I still...

Listener 4658 Marxist Doctrines By Charybdis

A corker, thanks very much Charybdis. I always enjoy this setter’s work. ‘I do appreciate seeing changes leaving real words in the grid, and we were treated to a lot of them in this grid.’ I said that...

Listener No 4657 Dos By Awinger

Very nicely done. I do appreciate seeing changes leaving real words in the grid, and we were treated to a lot of them in this grid. I was held up momentarily from not reading the preamble properly,...

Listener 4657 - Dos By Awinger

A very good introductory listener. Thanks Awinger....

Listener 4656 Co-Star By Lysander

I've been doing this puzzle for long enough not to panic when one of these arrives. Eventually I worked out where to attack it, and it succumbed. Thanks Lysander - that was a lot of fun!...

Listener 4654 Unicycle By Remus

Simple, even compared to a few we've had recently - but an excellent entry-level challenge for anyone who fancies a shot at The Listener. The theme has been visited many times, but is nicely...

Listener No 4653 Descent By Gnomish

That was good fun. I thought it was going to be a real stinker until I twigged the theme; I found some of the clues for the jumbles very tough. It didn’t exactly collapse when the theme became clear,...

Listener 4649 Get Weaving By Paddock

That was a workout and a half! Despite initial reservations that this was going to be a slog, I really enjoyed it. I'll admit I "solved" most of the across clues by reverse engineering from potential...

Listener 4648 - Not One - Nudd

Simple but very satisfying Tidy grid fill with some nice clues and then a mercifully brief wordsearch to the final answer Thanks Nudd - time for the Rugby this weekend now...

Listener 4646 Life By Hawk

I found the clues tough to the point of annoyance in the early stages, but it became easier as the thematic material revealed itself. I find this way of presenting the clues adds the extra obstacle of...

Listener No 4645 Fire Alarms By Chen

I am not sure it that was an easy grid fill or if I am just on the setter’s wavelength! Very enjoyable solve in any case, with some wonderful misleading wordplay. I don’t recognise the setter’s name,...

Hagen

Listener 4644 Symbols By Aedites

A jigsaw grid with entries of uncertain length, and no long answers to help us get started. Is that not one obstacle too many? I certainly thought so after I'd solved all but four of the clues and not...
