What’s a Word Cloud?
![Page 5: Word Clouds in the Classroom](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060109/5551f47db4c905f56f8b5245/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
A tag cloud (word cloud, or weighted list in visual
design) is a visual representation for text data, typically used to depict key words on websites, or to visualize free form text. 'Tags' are usually single words, normally listed alphabetically, and the importance of each tag is shown with font size or color. This format is useful for quickly perceiving the
most prominent terms and for locating a term alphabetically to determine its relative prominence. When used as website navigation aids, the terms are hyperlinked to items associated with the tag.
According to Wikipedia
