Time to delve into the notable and newsworthy from CheckiO and our users. What do we have for you this week?

If you’ve been aching for a round of new missions, prepare to be delighted:

• Min and Max – Create a solution that repeats the functionality of a similar built-in function. This will give a clearer understanding of how DRY works
• Verify Anagrams – Develop a solution that checks words or phrases to see if they are anagrams or not.

Alongside this, here are this week’s top and star coders! Be sure to congratulate and thank them for all they’ve done for the community.

• Top Coder: coells

What else have our users been up to recently? Well...

• User veky makes insightful comments about "variables" in Python.

That’s it for this week. If you ever feel you have anything worthy of CheckiO’s news updates, be sure to let us know!
