Create beautiful word pictures with the **Wordle** text tool. Creating your **personalized word cloud** is easy. Paste in text from any writing source or enter the URL of a page of text that has an RSS feed or Atom, click Go or Submit and print the finished word picture. Words used more frequently are larger in the created picture. Users can edit each Wordle to personalize it by changing the font, select a different layout or choosing a new color palette. It is easy to randomize how the words appear and even put the words in alphabetical order. Finished Wordle clouds can be saved to the public Gallery, so users should not include any personal data if any creations are saved.
