Michael Zimmers (ID: 000000746dbc653a) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/24/2022 Fantastic plug-in. I'm partial to the .puz format, and this gives it back to me. Easy to use and works great. Thanks for making this, Jeff.

Robert Wunsch (ID: 000000772a2081a1) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/22/2021 For all you crossword lovers who are upset with the NYT for discontinuing the across lite puz file downloads, this extension is your answer. Make sure you have across lite installed on your device and then go to the NYT crossword page on your browser. Bring up the puzzle you want on the screen and tap the extension down arrow and it will offer you to download in .puz,.jpz or pdf. Only just tried it and it seems to work fine. Thank you!
