word cloud

My ears caught the phrase "word cloud" in the CNN post debate discussion.

I read a review of the new film based on the novel Cloud Atlas in Sunday's New York Times.

The forecast for tonight is "Partly Cloudy."

I will ask my students to create a WORDLE based on the text of a poem they are studying.

A WORDLE is a word cloud that shows the dominance of word patterns in a body of text, much as a weather report predicts a dominant pattern of humidity, precipitation, and wind.
