Implementation features:

1. Download and cache the crosswords for later use, even when not connected to the Internet.

2. Monthly calendar view with dots below the dates to indicate cached crosswords.

3. Two viewing modes - Grid and List. In addition to these, theres an edit mode, where you can enter the answer. The orange navigation bar provides two arrow keys on either end to help you traverse the letter of each clue. Click on the edit button to edit the solution.
