\"\"<\/a>Peter Meissner (@marvin_dpr) released crossword.r<\/code>?<\/a> to CRAN today. It’s a spiffy package that makes it dead simple to generate crossword puzzles.<\/p>\n

He also made a super spiffy javascript library<\/a> to pair with it, which can turn crossword model output into an interactive puzzle.<\/p>\n

I thought I’d combine those two creations with a way to highlight new\/updated packages from the previous week, cool\/useful packages in general, and some R functions that might come in handy. Think of it as a weekly way to get some R information while having a bit of fun!<\/p>\n

This was a quick, rough creation and I’ll be changing the styles a bit for next Friday’s release, but Peter’s package is so easy to use that I have absolutely no excuse to not keep this a regular feature of the blog.<\/p>\n

I’ll release a static, ggplot2 solution to each puzzle the following Monday(s). If you solve it before then, tweet a screen shot of your solution with the tag #rstats #puzzler<\/code> and I’ll pick the first time-stamped one to highlight the following week.<\/p>\n

I’ll also get a GitHub setup for suggestions\/contributions to this effort + to hold the puzzle data.<\/p>\n
