Note: This experimental wikitext-based crossword utility should allow you to click on the boxes and type in answers, but I made it in about thirty minutes the night before publication, so it might not work properly for everyone (let me know if it does, so I can fix it for future editions). Also, there was one bug I couldn't figure out – don't press "enter" unless you want to end up on another page.
