Cloogle Crossword

A dynamic crossword web app

Cloogle is a web based crossword app allowing users to complete and save crosswords from a historical database of New York Times crossword puzzles hosted here.

This is the repository for the ES6 JavaScript frontend. The backend API repository resides at: Cloogle-Backend.

Demo

Installing / Getting started

The UI was written in plain JavaScript using CSS-Grid layout framework. Go check them out if you don't have them locally installed.

Begin by installing and running the backend API server: Cloogle-Backend

Then, in a separate directory, fork and/or clone this repository down then from within the top level directory open index.html in your browser of choice. The frontend client is set by default to point to a backend running on localhost:3000 which is the Rails server default if nothing else is running.

Enjoy!
