Wordle



So again, props to my mom for discovering this site called Wordle.

What is Wordle? Well: Wordle is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes. The images you create with Wordle are yours to use however you like. You can print them out, or save them to the Wordle gallery to share with your friends.

It's free, it's easy, and it's really fun! It can make a nice gift for someone, you can play with the colours etc. and frame it. Or just a nice cheer-up thing for someone- Check out the gallery to see what other people have created!

Just a note: the more times you put in a word, the larger it gets! So if you want to emphasize certain words but not others, then enter it a few more times :)

Happy wordling :)
