Hi,
I am working with wordle in addition to another computerlinguistic
tool for my masters thesis. As it turns out, the text I analyse uses
an extraordinary number of questionmarks. I would like to show this
fact in a wordcloud but in wordle, usually the punctuation is
filtered. I have the same problem with the common words I and she. In
my text they are quite important and I would like to show that fact in
the word cloud. But I don't want to have all the other common and less
significant words as "and" in it.
Is there a possibility to integrate these special words and the
question mark?
Thanks for your help!

Hi Mowgli,
To have the question marks show, use the advanced tab and follow the
instructions there. The same goes for common words, as advanced wordle
does not filter out anything.
If you want to use the standard Wordle to pre-process the text for
entry into advanced Wordle, a spreadsheet is helpful for this.
I have a video showing how to do this. Pay particular attention to the
links section at this blog post if you are unable to cut and paste
from the Wordle word count list as this has been brought about by a
recent change to Java.

Hi Kay,
thanks a lot, now I got it!
And thanks too for the blog-request, it really is of some interest to
me.
All the best,
Mareike
