Wordle! (aka Tag Clouds)

What does it do? Check out some example in the Wordle Gallery

A better question is... What could you use a Wordle for?

Picture
  • It creates a word puzzles (picture) based on how many times you enter a word. For instance if you enter the word Presidents 20 times and the word Obama 1 time - "Presidents" will be twenty "times" bigger than "Obama"..
  • You can then change the color, font and orientation all you want or even click on randomize.
  • There is no export feature but you can create an account and leave them on Wordle.net or take a screen capture of the image and paste it where you want it.

Picture
  • A creative poem
  • Rules
  • A list of states by size or population
  • Find the lyrics to a song and paste them in to see what words are used most often
  • Book Reviews
  • Newspaper headlines
  • Age of people
  • Number of terms served by politicians
  • A resume

How do you use it?

Picture
  • Once you are there Click on "Create" and type in some words then click the "GO" button!
  • Or paste in a URL and click on GO. (Check out the Wordle of THIS PAGE)
  • Click on the Font and Layout tabs to change it up.
  • Click on "Randomize" to change it up randomly!
  • Click on "Save to Public Gallery" if you want to keep it
  • Or click "Print"....

How do I use it?

Picture
  • I create a document in Word (or similar) and then copy and paste the content into Worlde. Why? Because you cannot edit your Wordle words after you click on GO.
  • If you do not like the size of your words you change you text document and then copy and paste it again.
  • Use the advanced mode. Read the instructions! COPY your list BEFORE you click on GO!
  • Click on Advanced and make the Words size to your liking. (Again tho the word list is not saved so cut and paste your list from a word processor or copy it!)
  • Take a screen shot of the Wordle. Paste it into "Word" or another app as needed.

Limitations? You bet'cha!

Picture
  • Won't work on MY Mac - Although it says it works on Macs! (I have a Java issue).
  • No export feature
  • Single words?. BUT read the FAQ's to find out how to do it.
  • Cannot edit/or copy your word list after you click on Go.
  • No limits or security. (Meaning you may find some bad words and "Naughty" Wordles!)
