EV 925 Gwent's Tall Yew by Kruger

Good afternoon Mr. and Mrs. UK and all ships at sea.... I thought this was a perfectly fine puzzle, not an earth-shattering PDM but solidly constructed nonetheless. And and am I wrong in seeing an...

Listener 4096: Some Assembly Required by Mr E

After part of the theme dawned on me half way through filling in the grid, i was thinking we were in for another stale ending. Luckily the ending took a fair amount of decoding, and it was very...

Listener 4085: Atom Smasher by Llig

Though there's another thread on on 4095, and I've contributed to it, this might help get the conversation started, though I suspect not a long one. There really isn't much to this (sorry Llig, and...

Listener 4094: Wet Wet Wet by Lato

A much bigger challenge, I thought this week, with some very clever plays involved in creating the group members. Lots of lovely pennies dropping all the way through. I'd be interested to see how soon...

Listener Crossword 4093 Times Group by Colleague

Another Friday, another Listener and another new setter (or is it). After a very straightforward grid fill, I shall now retire for a glass of something to consider the preamble. These easy fills are...

Listener 4092 Misprinted Auditions by Bufo

An entertaining puzzle, much less difficult than it might appear at first glance. Thanks, Bufo

Listener 4089 Vive la Difference by Kevin

A very pleasant and enjoyable debut by Kevin. Some nice clues and a familiar theme which made me realise how quickly time passes. Possibly suitable for newcomers, but personally, I think that 32D is a...

Listener 4087 Double Shuffling and Dealing by Auctor

We have found the clues a step up in difficulty from previous ones and had to go to the Internet for the quotation. Certainly not a puzzle for newcomers this week!

Listener 4086: Back Gate by Tiburon

My first listener from one of the Magpie team (talk about coincidences from last weeks magpie pitch). Obvious misprints made this fairly straightforward to start but tricky to finish. The theme...

Listener 4085: If I've Told You Once... by Ploy

Ploy gave us a relatively straightforward but interesting grid with "Signal Boxes" and it is the same this week. In fact there is more in the grid than needs to be highlighted. A very...

Listener 4084: Oh Yes It Does! by BeRo

This is fun, possibly a good introduction to the Listener genre for newcomers, without compromising quality. There are still some words no-one could be expected to know out of there usual vocab, but...

Listener 4083: Not as Mad as It Sounds? by Bandmaster

At first the high proportion of short words is a bit daunting - but for the most part the clues are fair, even if in one instance a little vulgarity (in my and Chambers' opinion) creeps in. A good...

Listener 4081 Double Cross by Radix

Listener 4081 Double Cross by Radix - Two for the price of one this week. Certainly lives up to its title!

Listener Crossword 4079

This week's offering is Sine Qua Non by Shackleton. No one should panic that I have finished it already - I've only just read the preamble and feel the need for a lie down in a darkened room. No doubt...

Listener 4077 Forced Entry by Mr Lemon

I'm not sure what the protocol is for starting a Listener thread, so I hope nobody minds if I leap in. I thought this was a nice, accesible run around, more an impressive piece of construction than a...

Listener 4076: Labour by Elint

Tough debut by Elint this week. Very good surface readings with definitions not always directly linked in Chambers, which I felt made it tougher. I was only mentioning a few weeks back that with the...

Listener 4075 - Square bashing by Arden

Hoorah - numbers. Again one must marvel at the construction. There are some fairly obvious approaches, but I have not ventured into the hinterland much. I do hope the required clues give a...

Listener 4074 Printer's Devilry by Qid

Just completed this one after a fearsome struggle. I thought this one was fiendish. Where is everybody? Struggling like me?

Listener crossword 4071

This week's offering is "Five Dots" by Franc, which feels somewhat reminiscent of one or two of his previous puzzles. More difficult than some of the recent offerings, but sound and...
