I agree. This happens a lot.

And still dead on 7/2. This web site is apparently an orphan: missing puzzles, dead links, and utterly unresponsive.

This does happen too often.  I'll try to contact Across Lite.

Most likely Kevin, the site owner, has gone on vacation and has left this site untended all week. There are other sites out there where you can get the LAT puzzle on paper but I have not found another source for a .puz download. If anyone knows of an alternate source, please post the link here.

I log into Cruciverb.com on my iPad Air.  I use Safari rather than Across Lite. I still cannot get the LA Times puzzle. Any suggestion?

How to d/l on iPad: set up Dropbox on your iPad. Click on the L.A. Times link on Cruciverb (when it works!) to download. Your iPad will ask you where you want to save it, select Dropbox. It will download and from there you can use your crossword app to import it. The actual keystrokes depend on your app.

It was working fine, but the last LA Times Crossword we can access is the one on 6/29/14.  What's up?

There's no point in listing the LA Times anymore because the link never works.

A week now. I WANT MY LA TIMES.  NOW! :-)

Letting you all know that I've been getting the LA Times on my smartphone via the Shortyz app. I still prefer to solve on my laptop with AcrossLite, but at least I haven't missed out on an entire week of puzzles.

Kevin,

We're freaking out. Please help.

Sorry, folks. But I have had a very tough time. Split from wife, living out of hotel rooms, no access to my laptop which has all the goods.

Not a fun time.

I can guarantee that the frustration of not getting the LA Times crossword is not a big deal compared to what I have been going through.

Just saying.

Sorry for your troubles. People should be smart enough to have a back up plan instead of complaining. You take care.

Kevin, I'm sorry you're in a difficult place.  You're right, of course, our crosswords are great but they're a wee concern in the scheme of things.  Thanks for the quick fix, and take care.
