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.
Type or paste text into the generator and create an eye-catching image made up of the words you entered. Excellent for class homepages. Thanks to Mrs. Fairhead at The Cavendish for sharing!
