New feature: Daily Jeopardy! Puzzles
Two new features in one day!?!?! It's madness!
Anyway, the latest fun update is that now every day there will be a randomly-chosen question from one of the episodes of Jeopardy! But, instead of giving the question like in normal Jeopardy!, you'll be giving the answer (since it's longer and will make a better cryptogram). Underneath the puzzle will be the category, the prize value, the question, and whether it came from the Jeopardy! or Double Jeopardy! round.
The questions are provided by the J-Archive, which is a really cool website that has archived all Jeopardy! episodes ever. You should really give it a look if you get a chance.
It's like playing two puzzle games in one! Yippee!

New feature: Cookies!
Hi gang,
I've added a new feature to the Cryptogram Blog. Now the current state of the puzzles you are working on is saved in a browser cookie. So, if you have made some progress on a puzzle but you have to go, you can close your browser and come back to it later. Also, there is no more danger from pressing F5 anymore, because you won't lose your progress.
The cookies are set to live for 5 days, and the cookie for a puzzle is cleared once you solve it. Hope you like it!
(UPDATE: For users of IE, you might need to change your cookie settings. Go to Tools -> Internet Options, then click the tab for Privacy. The slider needs to be on 'Low' or 'Accept All Cookies' for this feature to work.)
