Wordle for Word Clouds or Tag Clouds: Tips!
There's a lot of word cloud generators, all inspired by "Wordle" -- the original and still the best, created by Jonathan Feinberg. Sadly it requires java to run it properly. If you do get it, here's some tips to get the best out of it:
- To control the size of words you can either repeat the words many times, or end every word with ":3" (or some other number) to indicate it's relative size.
- To treat a phrase with spaces as a single word, replace the spaces with
~-- the tilde character. - Common words like "Not" are hidden, by default. To show them, select
Do not hide common wordsin theLanguagemenu.
