Title: LA Times?
Post by: GinnyB on March 11, 2019, 11:59:54 AM

Is there any news about why the LA Times puzzles are no longer available?

Periodically the LA Times puzzles are not available for a a few days, but I think this may be one of the longest stretches without a puzzle (so far 11 days).  I hope it comes back soon!

I agree! Really missing it in across-lite format.

Outages happen frequently enough that we've taken to posting text that's consumable by Across Lite.  Check this thread. (https://www.cruciverb.com/index.php?topic=107059.0)

I’ve been taking screenshots from the Washington Post and printing them up to solve, but hope the Across Lite version comes back soon!

There's a version the Washington Post puts up online (https://www.washingtonpost.com/crossword-puzzles/daily/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.c9992c03c3f9), which has a print function.  Otherwise, feel free to check the thread posted up above for Across Lite versions.

Also got your text file to work in Across Lite - you are a magician!  Thanks again for the helpful options.

What a pleasure to have the across lite downloads working again! And thanks again to all who helped fill in the gaps.
