The Daily Crossword widget uses the Across Lite format. Load daily puzzles from Thinks.com, the Los Angeles Times, CrosSynergy, the Sydney Morning Herald and Fred Piscop's archive. You can also directly input Across Lite .puz URLs you find online to load any games you want!
Click the disk icon to have the widget save your progress as you type, even if you close the widget by accident. Convenient slide-out Clues and Keyboard tabs are there when you need them, and gone when you don't. Now includes a minimize ability!
That is a good idea, aboy0110. I have been very busy developing another widget which should appear on the site soon. Hopefully I will get to this after that's up.
Finally I don't have to race to be the first to get the daily newspaper so that I may do the crossword puzzle. You have made society just a little nicer place to be.
Oops! The widget should work now. Sorry about that. I haven't checked back here in a while. If it stops working again, please send me a my.opera.com message! That way I'll get to it sooner
The fix was in the server-side Ajax script so you don't need to download a new copy of the widget.
Excellent widget, gets my vote. Unfortunately it looks like thinks.com have changed the URI puzzle link once again - since about mid June 2007 I've been unable to access ANY crosswords.
At first I thought it was because our network administrator was blocking the site but my system at home on a private broadband connection also exhibits the same behaviour.
Very nice work ! but.. backspace isn't working as expected. It erases one letter and moves to the next square, instead of the previous. Also delete should delete the current letter the push all letter after one square before. Last but not least, it would be great if the widget could save the current progress in some puzzle !
Thinks.com has changed the URI format of the puzzle link. I will post an updated version of the widget today! Sorry for taking so long to get to this.
EDIT: Problem fixed! As the widget requests the puzzle data through my website, there is no need to download a new version. Your existing version should work again.
I had the crossword widget up and running for months until now, it won't load correctly and the puzzle screen pops up and says there is an error. I tried re downloading it twice and the same thing happens. ........Windy

Just a thought.. A minimize or a shrink option would be useful..

Yesh, unfortunately it is impossible to disable all of Opera's keyboard shortcuts.
