Doesn't work.

Upon completing the crossword the page auto-submits the solution and gets "403 Forbidden" in response. Something got broken somewhere or someone has pulled the plug.

tried it out, still works. Try clearing cache and cookies and restart. Also use a mainstream browser

Nope. Might be geo-locked or something.
