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...

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...

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!...

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...

Oh dear ... well that didn't take very long. Where's The Listener puzzle this week?...

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...

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 -...

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...

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...

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....

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

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...

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...

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....

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...

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...

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...

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...
