Regex Crossword Generator
First and foremost this project was inspired by Regex Crossword and they deserve the credit. This project seeks to generate random crosswords and the regex rules to solve them. Right now it only generates 4x4 grids with the top, left, right, bottom, and diagonals being guaranteed to be words. The wordlist is from this repo which is a few years old by now but it works fine for this project.
This project is my first Typescript project and as such probably has more quirks than I would like but that is the nature of learning a new technology.
You can access a version of the project hosted through GitHub pages here.
