Recently, my kids introduced me to Wordle. Type in any text or URL, and voila! An artistic word cloud emerges that you can personalize with fonts, colours, and orientations. Here’s what Wordle spewed when I entered the URL for Educationdiva. Neat!
When it comes to word games, I occasionally have to check myself into Rehab. Years ago, I had to destroy a Boggle CD-Rom that came in a cereal box after I started hallucinating that word cubes were flying at me.
Luckily, Wordle is not like other word games. It’s artistic, and it works amazingly well for motivating kids to write.

Hi Mia,
I hope your son enjoys Wordle. My kids were really motivated to incorporate it as a tool into their writing. Very motivating! Let me know how it goes.
