Wordle Tips
 The same single word won’t appear twice even if you type it twice. The more you
type a word in the list, the larger it will appear in the Wordle. If you want one word to
appear 3 x bigger than the other words, type it three times in your list.
 To keep phrases together use a tilde (~) between the words.
 Wordle’s default setting removes numbers. If you want numbers go to Language
and uncheck “Remove Numbers”.
 Students type in Word – checks spelling – then copy and paste to wordle
 If typing into wordle site, copy before advancing as site doesn’t keep your word
list.
 You can’t make it into a specific shape.
 You can’t save as a jpeg. Take a screenshot of your Wordle or save as a PDF.
 If you save it in the gallery, anyone can see it.
Wordle extra’s- Wordle with picture background. Click on Ctrl and PrtScrn. This
saves the whole screen as a screen shot which can be pasted and cropped to be used
elsewhere. (Click Ctrl, then Prt Scrn. Nothing will appear to have happened, but when
you right click in a Word doc or Power Point slide, you'll be able to paste the entire
screen shot there. Then use the Crop feature from your Picture tools to trim to size). In
PowerPoint set the background to the colour or picture that you want. Using the
picture toolbar select the magic wand to select transparency area. Click on the white
background and it disappears.
