Things like Wordle

In a class I was in over the weekend, Wordle was brought up and then people began to share about Tagul and Word Sift. I wanted to share these two tools. They are similar to Wordle with a few different features. To be honest, I haven't really looked at them in depth.

Try out Tagul:

This is a lot more complicated than the Wordle site, but wanted to share it as another tool out there.

Word Sift (http://www.wordsift.com) is another one. If you place text in it, it gives definitions and thesaurus connections. You can sign up for a more in-depth version with more features. Someone in the class suggested that this one is good to use with ELL students.
