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.


TOPICS: Chit/Chat; Computers/Internet; Music/Entertainment; Society
KEYWORDS: wordcloud; wordle
Here is the wordle I made from the text on FR.

Wordle: freeper

I can’t find freedom or liberty on there. They must be, but I honestly can’t find them. :(

OK, found them, though they’re not as big as they should be.

Right in the middle it says: Far - Less - Health

Still looking for some liberty.

That was a great comparison. The greatest irony is the size of “government” under Reagan. :-)
