Very cool. Are there any public repositories of puz files, or at least some sample puz file to test this out?

- zem 8y agoa few of the download links here work (try the washington post e.g.): https://crosswordfiend.com/download/ https://crosswordfiend.com/download/
- andy_wrote 8y agoThere are a lot of crossword constructors who publish/sell their puzzles independently on the Internet, and often they create both puz and pdf files. Some sources of free ones: - Brendan Emmett Quigley: https://www.brendanemmettquigley.com/ https://www.brendanemmettquigley.com/ - Paolo Pasco: http://gridsthesedays.blogspot.com/ http://gridsthesedays.blogspot.com/ - and see the sidebar of Paolo's blog for links to many more constructors - They stopped publishing these online, but the Chronicle of Higher Education has several old crosswords here: https://www.chronicle.com/section/Crosswords/43 https://www.chronicle.com/section/Crosswords/43
- thisisparker 8y agoI wanted to ship it with an original demo puzzle but construction is really hard! That's on the roadmap for the future.
- thisisparker 8y agoOh also: if you're an NY Times crossword subscriber, you can download any of their puzzles as .puz files.
- raphlinus 8y agoFeel free to include http://levien.com/Social%20rule.puz http://levien.com/Social%20rule.puz , which has a Recurse theme. It's not top quality but I've had a number of people tell me they enjoy it.
- thisisparker 8y agoRaph! I loved that puzzle (and I've solved it in cursewords)! I may try to get together a collection of freely licensed demo puzzles, and I'd be honored to include this.
