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.

**Tagxedo **turns words -- famous speeches, news articles, slogans and themes, notes -- into a visually stunning word cloud, words individually sized appropriately to highlight the frequencies of occurrence within the body of text.
