Wordles

Wordle ( pronounced: word ul ) is an online tool that accepts whatever text you submit to it, analyzes it, and then creates an image with the most predominant words enlarged.

I’ve been throwing famous speeches and song lyrics at it and the results are fascinating. I’m also pinning them to my Wordles Pinterest board.

Here’s a snapshot of the board with an Image Map applied. That’s just code talk for “hover your mouse over a box, read the text that pops up, and then click“.

Nicki Minaj - Stupid Hoe lyrics Steely Dan - Babalon Sisters lyrics Adolf Hitler - Last speech Ronald Reagan - A Time For Choosing speech Mitt Romney - Republican Convention speech John F. Kennedy - Inaugural Address Martin Luther King - I Have A Dream speech Abraham Lincoln - Gettysburg Address Barack Obama - Inaugural Address Declaration of Independence

Thanks to maschek for his online Image Mapper and if you can handle it, here’s Nicki!

  1. Did I tell you that Grant and I saw Steely Dan last year. “Hey, 19” and the chasing’ the dragon song were so good. Made me think of you. You always had it playing. David Crosby and his wife Jan had driven up from Santa Barbara to see the show and were in the row in front of us. I noticed that Babylon Sister was one of your Wordles.

  2. Making a Steely Dan concert is on my bucket list, I just never wrote it down… You said last year so maybe they’ll make one more tour. My sister took Riley, Steph and I to see Fleetwood Mac in Oakland a few years back for my birthday. Scratched that one off :-)
