  <h2>listed by winner</h2>

<!--
  Nicely inefficient way to create list of crosswords won by each winner.
  Because not much ability to create and manipulate hashes in Liquid,
  have to do multiple scans of the posts:
  - loop over all posts to construct a list of all winners
  - calc the list of uniq winners (sorted by first initial)
  - for each winner, loop over all posts, looking for the one(s) they won: o(n^2) FTW !
