When you guess, letters will turn gray, yellow or red. Where Wordle wants you to guess a word every day in as few tries as possible, Antiwordle wants you to avoid the word by guessing as many times as possible. Tired of seeing those green blocks plastered all over your social media feed? Give Antiwordle a shot. You can play Crosswordle on any web browser. If Crosswordle wasn't hard enough, the Settings page shows the developers are working on a Hard Mode. Unlike other Wordle-based games, Crosswordle lets you create your own custom Crosswordle puzzle to share with your friends. However, it looks like you can guess as many times as you want until you either get the words or give up.
The gray, yellow and green color blocks are the same, and there's one puzzle a day. In this Wordle-inspired game, you have to figure out two words of varying lengths that intersect with each other like a crossword puzzle. Sure, Wordle is fun, but what if there was a crossword element to it? Enter Crosswordle. Printed word clouds could be hung over the classroom library as a way to advertise books.You can play Absurdle on any web browser. It could be used after reading by asking kids to generate a list of words that are relevant to the story.
With the right group of students, something like this could be used as an anticipation guide to get kids talking about what the story might be about before they read. I created the one below using the first three pages of Chrysanthemum (opens in a new window) by Kevin Henkes. Think of the ways content can be introduced or summarized using these! There’s a whole gallery (opens in a new window) of clouds to browse through, on topics as varied as a Emperor penguins (opens in a new window) to country populations (opens in a new window) which is such an interesting way to visually display data. Once the text is in, the fun begins! You can choose from a wide range of color themes, choose your font, word orientation (vertical, horizontal, any), and a shape to build the word cloud around (for me, this is the coolest part). Text can come from a webpage, a list of words, or pasted in text from a book. Tagxedo (opens in a new window) creates “tag clouds with styles.” As with other tag clouds, a user begins creating a tab cloud by entering text. The possibilities for language arts lessons are endless! One site to tuck away and pull out next year is Tagxedo (opens in a new window), a word cloud creator.
Summer months provide teachers an opportunity to reflect on the successes of the past year and to gather ideas for next year.
