Before I started working, I did the New York Times crossword every day for over 150 days. Here's an analysis of that solving data I did back then. Data provided by the xwstats API and visualized using visx.
Thanks to Eric Lau for feedback and suggestions.
Tip: click on a row in the table to hide that day's trendline.
