An example of maniupulting the output from a collocates/pattern table in Just the Word as input for the ADVANCED feature of WORLDE.

Hi Sheryl - glad you found it useful. You are quite right about the spreadsheet idea...I tend to use EXCEL and some of the basic TEXT, LOOKUP and FILTER options to manipulate lexical data I get from various sources. I did leave several suggestions for PHIL at the JustTheWord user group in GOOGLE to make the 'mash up' between JTW and WORDLE more seamless. But, as you suggest, copying and pasting the data into a spreadsheet is the only way to do this at the moment. Spreadsheets aren't everyone's cup of tea, but perhaps we could provide a template for the faint at heart, which can make it easier.... I also use the same technique to extract 'sets' from Mark Davies corpus sites at http://corpus.byu.edu as well as vocabulary profiles at Tom Cobb's Lextutor site at http://lextutor.ca -- Of course, PC-based software like ANTCONC and ANTWORDPROFILE also output data that can easily be manipulated into the ADVANCED feature of WORDLE. Here are some WORDLEs in my public gallery that show the results...the ones contrasting OBAMA and McCAIN speeches are quite interesting. http://www.wordle.net/gallery?username=BNL2709 My background is EFL, so I find other sources of lexical sets like http://labs.google.com/sets?hl=en&q1=mouse&btn=Shrink+Set+%28to+15+items+or+fewer%29 also useful as input to WORDLE. :)

I'll look over these resources. Yes, I made WORDLES of Obama and McCain. I think one reason these types of web applications are so interesting is to view the ways in which we teach and learn....what our commonalities are.

June 20, 2008 post. Several ideas for using wordle. Students create wordles about themselves listing their name and characteristics, hobbies, etc. Students create wordles describing a character in a novel for a character study. It would be fun to create these without the names and then have students guess who the wordle refers to.

text I am using for WORDLE ANALYSIS; You can blame "sticky" prices. That's what analysts call it when companies slap higher prices on products and keep them there even though the rationale for the price hikes _ such as soaring oil prices _ is gone

this is the first draft of a wordle used for an image for a blog posting on the topic of links in an article.

Wordle is a game I often play when I have time to kill. It's fun and gives me something to do for hours. My husband plays it as well, and we're always trying to beat each other's scores. This tool https://word-finder.com/words-that-start-with/ye/ is a real find for everyone who likes playing word games so check it out.

Wordle created from the text of McCain's concession speech; from a Plurk message that I didn't bookmark.

use this as a compare/contrast of Obama's and McCain's acceptance/concession speech

I totally agree with your comment about WORDLE serving to highlight the commanlities. As an EFL teacher, I tend to focus a lot on the common words in English, as these are the words that define our fluency in the language. I use the BNL2709 vocabulary profiler for this at http://lextutor.ca/vp/bnl -- when you compare McCain and Obama's use of the most common words in their speeches, it can be a good starting point for a compare/contrast analysis which is accessible to most EFL students (well, those above B1 on the CEFR scale). When I get a good result for a WORDLE, I save it to the public gallery. Perhaps interesting to view WORDLEs focusing on the common words in English below with your WORDLE of unfiltered words in the McCain speech in mind. Compare the two WORLDEs http://www.wordle.net/show/wrdl/289555/Obama_Speech_5-11-08_-_BNL2709 http://www.wordle.net/show/wrdl/289552/McCain_Speech_5-11-08_-_BNL2709 Notice the differences in frequency of words in both speeches (campaign, bless, nation, unite, promise, achieve, white). Also of note are the words that appear in one and not the other like fail, victory, generation. :) Creating complementary WORDLEs like this can be another useful way to explore the compare/contrast issue that you mention.

the students selected to use the largest words as those they thought were most significant in the life story of Martin Luther King; this is a great way to improve reading comprehension and expand the narrative

This is a webslides tour of ideas for using Wordle in the classroom.

I hope that this solution works for the majority of Wordle users. I am, certainly, excited to get back in the classroom and try this out with the kids. I think they are going to LOVE it! Becky

Thanks for sharing this! I like playing word games and do it quite often. Word games are a fun way to pass the time but they also have numerous benefits. Word puzzles help build your vocabulary, improve your spelling and writing skills, and increase your general knowledge. Plus, doing these puzzles improves your cognitive function, memory, and attention. Look for word hints here https://word-finder.com/words-that-end-in/anti/. Sometimes it's the only option, especially when you are stuck.

I like Wordle. This game is so addictive that I can play it all day long and never get bored. It improves memory, increases vocabulary, and hones analytical skills. If you are stuck and can't guess the word, just look for hints here https://word-finder.com/words-that-end-in/ick/. This word generator tool is good not only for Wordle but for other word games as well.
