Guess, at his own hard disk. New versions are shared by kde-apps
(http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php/KrossWordPuzzle?content=111726  )

Please, do not do this. The application is really great (just try it by
your own). I have written the developer twice trying to convince him to
develop the game through KDE SVN, but received no answer. Last version
(newer than in SVN) have been released with Ukrainian translation only.

Maybe my arguments were too weak?

It is playground application. I am afraid that if we push too hard, this
game will be lost for KDE. Can you convince him to include the translations
(en_GB, pt, and sv) from kde4-l10n?

Thanks in advance.
