Creating a Heart Map Wordle

Yesterday you made a Heart Map filled with the important people, places, memories and things in your life.  Today you are going to use that map to create a Wordle that represents what's important to you and who you are.  Your Wordle should contain at least 20 words.  You can play around with the layout.  Click here to create a Wordle.

Some tips:

1.  How do I make one word bigger than another?

The size of a word in the visualization is proportional to the number of times the word appears in the input text. So, for example, if you type

apple banana banana grape grape grape

into the create page's text field, you'll see that banana's font size is twice apple's, and grape's font size is 3/2 that of banana's.

2.  Can I keep some words together? Can I visualize two-word phrases?

Yes! You can use either the Unicode "non-breaking space" character or the tilde character ~ between words that go together. The tilde will be converted to a space when drawing the words, and the words will be treated as a single word.
