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,...

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...

Listener 4642 Music Box By Tnap

I have searched extensively, but that doesn't mean there isn't a previous thread lurking that search can't find. I'll just say that I found this hard work, and add more if this really is the first...

A gentle start to the year. Happy New Year all.

Listener 4639 - Hotfoot By Vismut

A well judged puzzle for this weekend, I thought. Hard enough to satisfy the regulars (with plenty of thematics too) but accessible enough for anyone who fancies a go at something new over the...

Listener 4638 - Head-Start Clues By Elgin

Lots of thematic material. Great fun, thanks Elgin....

Listener 4637 - Realisation

Excellent puzzle - not the hardest, but some nice clues and (for once) a very fair endgame with no gridstaring. Thanks KevGar - I look forward to your puzzles and this was a good one....

Listener 4633 - Cool Places Only By Ares

(Am I first? I can't find another thread) A very straightforward grid fill, with the "gimmick" obvious after the first couple of clues. And then a fairly obvious "theme" to look for. But then...a...

Listener 4631 Seconds Out By Stick Insect

A rare occasion where we can say have solved the puzzle but not the normal clues at this moment.

Listener 4629 Right-Wing Majority By Ifor

Blimey I'm old - the last thematic item didn't exist when I taught the general subject! Really enjoyed this as I do all Ifor's puzzles - it was hard but yielded to perseverance at just the right pace....

Hagen

Listener 4627 Flappy By Shark

I thought this was terrific, with thematic material that just kept on giving. My drawing abilities are even worse than that of a certain artist who exhibits unmade beds, but even so my final result is...

Listener 4623 Tears By Oxymoron

Rather surprised to find an Oxymoron puzzle in the Listener. Wasn't that the pseudonym the late, great John Harrington used for Enigmatic Variations, while his Listener and Inquisitor puzzles were set...
