Cryptic Crossword Companion.

I made this extenstion to help me improve at cryptic crosswords, and to reinforce some web development skills I've been learning. If people find it useful, I will add more websites. Suggestions and collaboration welcome.

Features:

  • Highlight crossword indicators such as anagrams, hidden words, homophones, etc.
  • Provide abbreviations and synonyms.
  • Persistent notes per clue stored in the browser.

Enjoy.
