Wordle

WHAT is Wordle?

Wordle is an essential tool for creating word clouds using the chosen words or texts. Wordle is a combination of colours, words, font sizes and layouts. We can insert a maximum number of words into the word cloud, and it is not as limited as compared to another website called WordSift.

Below are Example 1 and Example 2: The differences between these two examples are in terms of the word layouts and colours. As we can see in Example 1, the word clouds are in black and white. All the words or texts are in horizontal layout. However, in Example 2, the words are created in several colours and there are different layouts identified. Some words are in horizontal layout, and some are vertical. In addition, font sizes can be edited according to word preferences.
