Listen With Others

Hi, I’ve been doing Listener crosswords for about 5 years, and I thought I’d have a go at blogging.

I enjoy unnumbered clues when they’re alphabetical like these, and for me, Goosey, Goosey presented a fair but not overly difficult task in placing the entries. The skilful concealment of the extra words was a real bonus: Ice Queen, fish roe and bawdy playwright in particular were inspired. Many of the entries were off the beaten Chambers track too, giving just the right amount of challenge. Clever title too!

The subject matter appeals to me too – Malva clearly likes birds as much as I do. Thanks Malva for another very enjoyable solve.
