Well...you know I had to find out, so I went to www.wordle.net and did it with BOTH of my completed books. Here's the results:
Know what's funny? I was trying to guess what word would be the most used, and I was like DUH when the cloud came up. FYI...I hadn't picked the names of the H/H to be the most used words. How silly am I? Of course the main characters are going to have the most page time!
Some of the other most used words struck me, though. There are ones in my cloud that I tried NOT to use a lot. Oops! See where that gets ya'. ;-)
Anyhoo - it was fun, and the clouds are pretty. I suggest you do the same to your ms!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY EMILY!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOHOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wordles are so much fun and educational too in a classroom. Students can get another perspective on their vocabulary usage. You created two neat ones.
Thanks for the link! I've seen my daughter using it but she wouldn't give me the site...off to have some fun now!
Happy Birthday Em!
And yes Wordle is awesome! Did this for mine a while ago, but yours look very cool. It's interesting to play with the settings and see what words get bigger if you don't eliminate commonly used words.
Happy birthday, Emily!
And thanks for the suggestion! I just spent time I should have spent on something else on wordling my ms and a fanfic I wrote. They look so cool, and it's definitely interesting to see what tone you strike with the words you chose.
I'm going to to wordle my WIP. I have no idea what to call it. lol.
Happy Birthday to your daughter. :-)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY EMILY!!! 12 Wow they grow fast!
I've never made one and don't even know how they work but I love them! They always look so pretty!!! I should try one, thanks for the links! Looks like it will also teach me what words not to use!
Happy Birthday Emily. :)
I've never used Wordle before. Looks like fun though. :)
Yep, wordle is fun - except when you see words you wished you didn't ;)
And happy birthday Emily!!! I hope it's a great one.
I tried once but wasn't able to save it to my computer. Any insight?

Oh, I had SO much fun when I Wordled my MS. Totally helped me see the words I tend to overuse ('Bright' is one, 'back' is another. Geez!) Thanks for sharing, and happy birthday, Emily!
Happy birthday Emily!
Oh, I love Wordle. It is so great to pick put those pesky over-used words!
Happy big 12, Miss Emily! And Justine, you've taught me something today. I've never even heard of wordle! I had to read that part twice. I'm off to explore it. Thank you and have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend!
Happy 12th birthday, Emily!
And I LOVE Wordle - love it! :-)
Happy birthday, Emily. I've never used Wordle on my manuscript, but months ago I tried it for my blog. I found out that I use "get" way too much!
Happy Birthday Emily! :)
I loved Wordling my MS. It helps me pick out which words I need to stop over-using. And it's pretty.
OOOHH I've been meaning to do this!!!! yeah I'll bet some words would come up I didn't attend to abuse--LOL!
Happy B-day!
