Incredible! Easily my favourite Kea puzzle, and the best Listener so far this year. Just so rich in the theme and all the diverse gimmicks throughout. Thanks Kea!

Just finished this lovely puzzle. 41A What's left in division? (4) ?ULT. Assuming it's CULT. Why? 11D Careless fielders jog around Perth (8) SLIPSHOD. I see the definition, but wordplay?

An excellent puzzle. I enjoyed the first stage of the problem as logic was required throughout rather than testing umpteen possibilities. The gridfill was quicker than anticipated and there is no...

I’ve attempted my first Listener crossword, possibly unwisely, and I’m nearly done apart from this clue - Gelding's odds at the off, about the same (5) I have ???D? - I’m pretty sure about that D....

I thought the gridfill was OK. Many of the clues were pretty straightforward allowing a well-timed PDM to resolve the difficulties and confirm the theme. The two unclued entries were fine once the...

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....

Good day, completed Doc’s offering and was expecting a revised version of the grid with shaded squares. Can anyone suggest the meaning of “reading row by row from top to bottom( two words) and what...

Good day, NACW, I'm very happy to claim that this seems to be my week at last! Doc was no mystery for me this time as I cracked his theme quite early. But I hope I'm not rejoicing too fast as there is...

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...

Nice implementation of an entry method that I'm sure I've seen several times before? Some interesting vocabulary, but nothing too abstruse to deter a first-time solver. Thanks Ares - a pleasant couple...

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.

Thanks Oyler for another brilliant puzzle. Is there any way we can access the original puzzle from 50 years ago?...
