CrozzWord was awarded 1st place in Entertainment/Educational/Multimedia category in JPDA 2002 Application Developers Contest
for Zaurus and iPaq sponsored by Insignia Solutions, HP, Intel, Metrowerks, Sharp, Softbank Publishing and Sun Microsystems.
With CrozzWord, a user can display, fill-in and solve crossword and
cryptic puzzles, from Samples or local system, or more importantly, from an extensive categorized
collection of public sites over a network; over 30,000 puzzles are
accessible, in six formats, including secure access to New York Times. A
user can customize application and puzzle appearance, add sites to
Favorites or other categories, selectively check/reveal answers, skip to
incomplete/incorrect guesses, and save partial games or archive remote
puzzles for later local use. Online help. Shareware registration.
Versions available for many platforms, including Windows, Macintosh, Zaurus
(and eventually PocketPC, Linux, ...). CrozzWord requires Java runtime support.

and its .jar file is uncompressed, it is possible to run applets directly from web
(e.g., Worm or any of my apps)
