Getpuzzles is a simple command-line application to download crossword puzzles from a variety of sources on the internet, and convert them to Across Lite (.puz) format on your local computer.
To date getpuzzles can download puzzles from the following sources:
- Newsday (daily)
- USA Today (Monday-Saturday, not holidays)
- Universal (daily)
Assuming you have a Java SDK and Apache Ant installed, just clone the repository and build it with the included build.xml. The /bin directory has a script getpuzzles that invokes the application; run it with no arguments for a help message.
Nearly all of the code here is adapted from Robert Cooper's excellent Shortyz crossword app for Android. All credit goes to him.
