How do you open a .puz?

@BarbaraK:

Acrosslite app, but it may be something different on Apple devices.

Use the WSJ online form or the spreadsheet:

There is a Mac version of the Across Lite app.

I routinely find the WSJ grids much harder than even the Saturday NYT crosswords. Does anyone else feel this way? I can now see the meta answer, but I have very little motivation to finish the grid.

I am not tech-savvy enough to make this link work for me.
I think my devices can’t open .puz files. I guess I’ll have to wait until WSJ posts the puzzle.
Good luck to all.

There is another link someone posted on the first page that isn't a PUZ file and can be solved in the browser. At the risk of being redundant, it's here: https://s3.amazonaws.com/djcs-prod/publ ... index.html

For nudges, feel free to PM me. I won't have a clue how to help you, but you might shove me ashore.
