Hi all ๐Ÿ‘‹

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 ๐Ÿ’™

<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>

There are different sizes - the smaller ones are not hard to do in a sitting. For the larger ones, I find myself working on one area at a time, then putting it down and working on another area later. It's not too bad - almost like a jigsaw puzzle.
