开源填字，能上报纸
Newspaper-grade crosswords
ekorbia/xword-pipeline
开源填字生成器不少
但大多出来的格子稀稀拉拉
这个项目的野心很明确——做出能印在纽约时报上的东西
Plenty of open-source crossword generators exist, but most
spit out sparse, ugly grids. This one's aiming
for something that could sit in the New
York Times
Rust 填格，Claude 写线索
Rust fills, Claude clues
管道把最难的两件事拆开了——Rust 负责计算密集的格子填充
Claude 负责写线索
最近作者甚至把写线索的模型从 Opus 换成了 Sonnet
主动在成本和质量之间调优
The pipeline splits the hard parts cleanly. Rust
handles compute-heavy grid filling, then Claude writes the
clues. The latest commit even swapped Opus for
Sonnet — actively tuning cost vs. quality, not
just shipping and forgetting
★ SIGNAL 1
不只是填满格子
Beyond filling squares
填充引擎有个专门的门控
会拒绝词根重复的答案
不是每个格子填满就算完
而是确保相近位置不出现同一个词根
这种严谨才是玩具和报纸之间的区别
The fill engine has a dedicated gate that
rejects root-duplicate answers. Not just filling every square
and calling it done — it makes sure
the same word root doesn't cluster nearby. That
rigor is what separates a toy from something
a newspaper would print
★ SIGNAL 2
21 次提交还在调词库
21 commits, still tuning
填字质量生死取决于词库——词库太薄或约束太松
格子根本填不出来
21 次提交里持续更新词库
微调填充引擎
说明作者在拿真正的纽约时报产出做对标
Crossword quality lives and dies by the dictionary
21 commits of steady wordlist updates and fill-engine
tweaks — this suggests the author is actually
benchmarking against real NYT output
作者没吹算法多厉害
直接链了一个 WordFuzz 测试页面
让你自己看生成出来的填字游戏
好不好，你说了算
Instead of claiming 'our algorithm is great,' the
author links directly to a WordFuzz test page
showing generated puzzles. You judge for yourself
