It is recommended that you create the list of word in a word processor (Word) so you can save the list (in case you wish to edit and regenerate the word cloud later). Copy and paste the list into Wordle and have fun generating just the right combination for the right effect. The more often a word is listed the bigger it will be in the cloud. Using a ~ between words identifies it as a phrase and will keep the words together in the cloud.
