Online Sources of Puzzles

Many crossword compilers and fans host web pages where puzzles can be downloaded. Below is a list of sources known to Forkyz. Please raise an issue on our GitHub page if you would like to add a source or make a correction.

Forkyz will attempt to open any file you give it, but look out for Across Lite (.puz) or JPZ in particular. IPuz support is partial and aims to cover block and bar puzzles.
