Wordle is one of the coolest free toys I’ve seen in a while. I’ll let author Jonathan Feinberg‘s description speak for itself and get out your way so you can read it then start Wordling…
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.
