WordlePlus: Expanding Wordle’s Use through Natural Interaction and Animation

Wordle has been commonly used to summarize texts, with each word size-coded by its frequency of occurrences–the more often a word occurs in texts, the bigger it is. The interactive authoring tool WordlePlus leverages natural interaction and animation to give users more control over wordle development. WordlePlus supports direct manipulation of words with pen and touch interaction. It introduces two-word multitouch manipulation, such as concatenating and grouping two words, and provides pen interaction for adding and deleting words. In addition, WordlePlus employs animation to help users create more dynamic and engaging wordles.
