The squeaky wheel gets the persistent state. @WeAreAllSatoshi asked me a couple of times to make it so you can walk away from the weekly crossword puzzle, cuss it out in frustration, bang your head against the wall, CLOSE THE BROWSER, and then continue where you left off.
Now that dream is a reality. All previous and future crossword puzzles now use local storage to plant malware your progress directly into your browser. Here's a recap of the current state of the unofficial, probably unwelcome, and certainly inaccurately titled weekly stacker crossword puzzle.
Week 1 - bounty claimed by @OneOneSeven Week 2 - bounty claimed by @OneOneSeven Week 3 - bounty claimed by @SimpleStacker Week 4 - bounty claimed by @grayruby Expect Week 5 in the next couple of weeks!
If you still want to solve more crossword puzzles by bitcoiners, here's an educational one with a much better ui by @handsome_latino.
Have fun!
Nice addition.

Just having never done it before, I thought it was going to be harder to implement. Yay! New skills! Thanks for the kick in the pants.
Also, although I know basically every website does it, something just feels creepy about saving things in people's browsers.

Yea, local storage is pretty straight forward, basically JSON.stringify in and JSON.parse out. You're welcome for the kick in the pants.
It's actually more private to store this game state in people's browsers instead of on a server somewhere. Plus, it keeps costs down for you. Win-Win!
