Not long ago, I saw someone share the word “fascinating” along with this article Study Reveals What Words Men And Women Use To Write About Love, And The Difference Is Striking.
After a quick glance at the first Word Cloud in the above link, it appeared that in a study of modern love essays…
- MALE AUTHORS more often used the words: people, person, father, or parents.
- FEMALE AUTHORS more often used: friends, mother, children, or boyfriend.
I found this fascinating as well…and then I remembered a fascinating (and fun) Word Cloud generator I’d used to study THE WORDS I’D CHOSEN for my books.
WHAT IS “WORDLE”?
In the words of Wordle‘s creator, Jonathan Feinberg: “Wordle is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes.” Note: at the time of posting, Wordle required Java & said it worked with Internet Explorer or Safari on Mac (but not in a Chrome browser).
Here are four Wordle Word Clouds for my books. Click the book’s title to learn more about each story.
Can two mismatched people band together to become the perfect match?
On a trail full of danger, will he guide her to heaven or hell?
When legends collide, will the sparks ignite their love or drive them apart?
Who is Eldorado Jane? Long-lost friend or scheming Wild-West superstar?
Hope you enjoyed my Word Clouds. Got a favorite Word Cloud, word, or name?
I’d love to hear it ❤
Hi Jacqui,
I love your word clouds.
Wouldn’t it be neat if we could use them below our back cover blurb? They say so much. But I know, there’s no room.
Thanks for the post.
Jo-Ann
That would be cool! And now you’ve got me thinking where else we could use them 🙂
