I noticed a while ago that I couldn't grab USAToday directly from Forkyz on Sundays, which appears to have been by design in Shortyz. At some point, you must not have been able to pull the sunday crossword, but I made a script on my homeserver to pull twice daily, and noticed I was now able to pull the Sunday crosswords.
Script:
#!/bin/bash -x
cd /<dir>/crosswords/
wget http://picayune.uclick.com/comics/usaon/data/usaon$(date +"%y%m%d")-data.xml

I think this is all the changes needed to make USAToday pull on every day of the week. Going to build in Android Studio to see if this does indeed work.
