Tidy Clouds

In my data visualization class I had the students get a book from Project Gutenberg using the gutenbergr package and build a word cloud using tidytext and wordcloud. It’s much easier that the “old” corpus/text mapping approach, and when the students were sharing their clouds they started showing the cloud and having students try to guess the book. This made me think of using a Shiny runtime to make a little word cloud guessing game.
