Last Best Wordle

Henry beat me to the punch by about five minutes, dammit. Here’s my wordley representation of my book, Last Best Gifts.

Last Best Wordle

I didn’t look at the site closely enough to see if I could get a PDF of the output, but it would be nice to have one.

You can print the cloud, and (at least on a Mac, don’t know about a PC) it’s trivial to turn that into a PDF. For some reason, I had to click a few times to get it to work.

Heh.

You can get the site to print out a PDF: http://wordle.net/faq#pdf.

Thanks. I was wondering how to save the thing as a file. Here’s the one for my book:

Reminds me of an episode of The X Files where people turn paranoid, see messages on the screens of ATM machines and cash registers, and commit murders. BLOOD is good, but you need add a few KILL THEM ALLs.

Odd, I had to do a hard reload to get that to display.

Why does it look like a flounder? Though you’re in good company.

Gareth: it would be interesting to get the whole CT archive as a text file and try that. Anyone know how?

I’m reading the manuscript of Derek Parfit’s On What Matters in a small group this summer, and it inspired me to create a Parfit wordle.
