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.
