Listener No 4884, “Spyder” by Sabre
Sabre’s first Listener was waaaaay back in 1970, and this was his 75th solo effort — others were in collaboration, including no. 3000. This year’s puzzle had a slightly odd grid with gaps between a lot of cells and ticks around the perimeter. (And did Sabre have a competition with ‘Eck for the number of steps required to finish!)
