words = sample_words(word_pool)
card = make_card(words)

The example below shows that bingo cards can be be customized. It is also possible to override default values in make_card with variable keyword arguments.

n_rows = 3
word_pool = map(_->randstring(4), 1:50)
words = sample_words(word_pool, n_rows, n_rows)
card = make_card(words; size=(300,300))
