Morning all,

I'm looking to delve into some old Listener puzzles.

At the Listener page here : https://www.thetimes.com/puzzleclub/crosswordclub/news/the-listener-crossword

It has a list of links for the past few years and also mentions "Further Listener puzzles and solutions can be found via the Crossword Search facility on the homepage. "

But I can't seem to find that. Does anyone have a link they can share please ?

On the crossword club homepage there is a link called "See all puzzles". It's just above Leaderboards. If you click this, you can search for listener or whatever puzzle for particular time time periods.

Thanks but I still can't see it. Maybe I have a different level of account access. Or maybe I'm being a numptie !

If you have a moment could you copy and paste that link please? Sorry for any stupidity on my behalf.

No prob... Shd have done that...

See if that works... You'll have to put in a date range and select listener..

That's worked. Brilliant, many thanks for your help.

no prob... Id be interested to know if they were harder or easier in the past...

In my own experience of attempting The Listener (around 30 years) I would say that the range of difficulty is broadly similar, with the caveat that there seem to be more easy and moderately easy puzzles these days....but that may be due to the fact that my solving ability has improved over the years.

That's interesting. Would you say that you have built up a "listener crossword vocabulary" over the years or is there such a thing?
