The clues...
Requests for help should normally include the clue itself, the number of letters in the answer, and details of any you already have. Any special instructions or additional information should also be given.
Hints only, please, no answers.
The theme...
Help towards the theme may be sought here. 'Gentle nudges' is, of course, hard to define, but Forum members seem to manage it quite well - giving a little extra nudge, a steer in the right direction, without spoiling the puzzle for others. Any queries or replies which - even inadvertently - reveal too much are likely to be removed.
The Listener is a unique puzzle and should be treated with respect.
