Quite a gentle one today.

The Listener Crossword No 4554 Duck By Vismut

We have completed the satisfying gridfill and identified the work in question but are finding the endgame less than tractable. Not thinking about it for a while is probably a good idea....

Can't find another thread so ... This is 'Puzzle of the Year' for me thus far; but at a price as it has been a very tough solve. The five different types of clue made for difficult solving as one had...

Listener 4550. Moving Up &down By Ferret

Am I really first, or is the search playing up again? Fairly gentle from Ferret (for once), but only after solving one of the long Across clues. The displacements are disconcerting and a couple are...

Listener No 4550

I thoroughly enjoyed this. A classic Listener in a way and challenging enough too in parts; excellent tricky clues involving the switching of words and a theme I wasn't familiar with gradually and...

Another neat puzzle by the master. Not as difficult as some of his previous offerings but still enjoyable. RIP Schadenfreude....

Listener Crossword 4545 Polyfilla By Ifor

Thanks to Ifor for reminding us of a controversy from a few years back. I don't think too much of a problem should arise here. It could not have been easy to find words to match the requirements of...

Listener 4541 - Doing The Rounds By Extent

This was an interesting challenge - easy to get off to a flying start but I got quite bogged down in the 12-letter answers. The grid structure and the format of the Round clues were new to me, which...

Listener Crossword 4540 Chalked Up By Nudd

Not a difficult grid fill and I had a good idea what I was looking for but it did take a little while to understand what exactly the four groups of omitted letters was about. Thanks to Nudd....

Listener 4539 Removal By Gos

I can't be the first, surely? I can't remember when I last sat in front of a Listener for so long with so little idea of what was going on. My first trawl through the clues produced virtually nothing...

Listener 4537: Rollerball

Another great puzzle from the Ace of Hearts. I usually find this type of circular puzzle tricky and this one was no exception. A very nice theme very well executed - many thanks!

Listener 4536 - Meowed By Apt

A very straightforward start to the year. Nice surface readings for clues and a fair endgame. Clues not overly hard, though. Onward in 2019

Listener 4533 - Telling Lies

I stared at this for a while until my brain clicked into the style of cluing - and then it poured out in a rush. Some neat cluing, some simple. And the end game was amusing. Less of a chore than the...

Listener Crossword No 4532 How? By Twin

Another tough puzzle but not as bad as last week's by a long chalk. Once the entry method had been deduced it was much easier to make progress; initially I spent much time staring at the clues without...

Listener 4531 Superpower By Shenanigans

I hope nobody minds me starting the ball rolling again. Nice unambiguous ending this week, but rather too much cold solving needed before any sort of grid fill could be attempted. I'll be interested...

Listener 4528 Escapee By Dysart

An interesting treatment of a theme that I happened to come across not 4 hours ago, which certainly helped in identifying what was going on. This felt like a classic solid Listener, with plenty...

Listener 4527

Excellent challenge beautifully constructed. Shirley Curran is always good value as a setter. Fortunately for us G spotted the quotation very early on, which helped significantly.

IainGrace

Listener Crossword 4525

Relatively gentle due to clues not being too demanding. For the avoidance of doubt (as retired lawyers say), each entry begins at its numbered cell.
