    Oops! The widget should work now. Sorry about that. I haven't checked back here in a while. If it stops working again, please send me a my.opera.com message! That way I'll get to it sooner The fix was in the server-side Ajax script so you don't need to download a new copy of the widget.

    Thank you GreyWyvern; Finally I don't have to race to be the first to get the daily newspaper so that I may do the crossword puzzle. You have made society just a little nicer place to be. Vegetable

    This is just cool.. great stuff man.. Just a thought.. A minimize or a shrink option would be useful..
  • GreyWyvernJun 2, 2009
    That is a good idea, aboy0110. I have been very busy developing another widget which should appear on the site soon. Hopefully I will get to this after that's up.

    Please press F5 or Ctrl+R to reload the widget if it fails to connect at its first try. This will very likely solve the time out issue.
  • GreyWyvernJul 30, 2010
    Issues should be resolved with the Opera 10.61 release guys. Sorry for the problems!!!
  • JurgiAug 30, 2010
    A bit difficult for me. Yet a good way to improve vocabulary.
