I should have been an English teacher, according to my degree. I never did become one, but I’m still addicted to words. I love to write. I also enjoy good design, and like playing around with word art. When I found this website, I couldn’t stop playing with words!
Wordle is a free site that allows you to generate “word clouds” from any text you type or paste into a box. With a few simple mouse clicks, you can have your text rearranged, change the colors and even change the font. Once you create it, your Wordle is yours. You can save it to your computer, or to their website to share with friends.
Make sure you have the latest version of Java installed on your computer, or you won’t be able to view the Wordles. You don’t have to register for the website. Simply paste in a bunch of text, the more the better. Think up your own words, copy the words to your favorite song, or even use your wedding vows like I did. The words used the most freqently will be larger than others. You can even save the Wordle as a PDF file, and then make it the wallpaper on your desktop.
Even though the service is free, you can send a small donation to the author if you would like. I sure did. This website is just COOL.
