Wordle

Do you want to make a word cloud? Go to Wordle where you can place your text and Wordle will create the word cloud for you. The more the word is used, the larger it will appear. The word cloud shown is the Gettysburg Address. As you can see, the words "nation" and "dedicated" are the largest and most used words in the address.

You are able to change the font and color to make the word cloud exactly how you want it to look. If you click on the "Randomize" button on the bottom the program will automatically change the look of the cloud and you are able to keep clicking on "randomize" to view it differently. If you enter 2 words that you wish to keep together in your cloud, make sure you type the "~" key between the words.
