    Welcome to our WORDLE group. I read your excellent post, but I couldn't comment there. I'll copy it here: Yes, this is very neat! Thanks for sharing this aspect of WORDLE. I will encourage the members of our WORDLE group to practice this. Do you think a person could use Google Spreadsheet? I'm thinking that might make another avenue to work this advanced feature. Welcome!

    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.
