Crossword puzzle-new and old version have not worked for the past 4-5 days. Very frustrating for someone who has used it every day. NEVER upgrading to the ad free version now!

Dictionary.com website is not working for me. I'd appreciate any assistance you might be able to offer. I'm not sure if it's an automated security flag or a bad home page. (Also I haven't been able to set the IE 9 antispam settings to check for unsolicited cookies). I would love to use this site, but I can't. I have been trying to set up a new account, and I have never successfully configured an account with a UK address. Could you please help me please? I can't have any of my account information changed after it was already saved, and I have already taken the optional step of uploading a police report. What should I do?
