Hi all 👋

I’m looking for some help locating large packs/collections of crossword puzzles for use with the Shortyz/Forkyz Android app (.puz, .json etc) pretty please (sob story below if you’re interested). I promise I’m not trying to be lazy (though it’s possible, as my mum would say, that I’m having a boy’s look), but I’ve looked around on archive.org, all my usual pirate sources, Forkyz list of sources, and ofc Google, and come up I feel surprisingly empty. I’ve found a couple of packs of the NYT crosswords, which will work, but I’m hoping I can find some to ease her in to because she’s used to doing the ones in our local news rag which don’t quite match up to the NYT.

Anyway, thank you in advance to everyone 💙

<sob-story> Dad’s in palliative care and my step-mum is getting a bit bored with her Sudoku puzzles, which of course I’ve had no trouble providing lol. </sob-story>

    I get access to the NYT puzzles app through my library card, which has a very long backlog and lots of packs, so that may be an avenue worth pursuing.

      Thanks 👍 That’s not available in AU AFAIK (I didn’t mention that limitation so that the post could be useful to everyone, but it’s true in my case). I have seen doshea/nyt_crosswords which is probably what I’ll start with despite expecting it to be a bit too advanced off-the-bat.
