Polliwog Wordle from July 29

A wordle is clever in a number of ways. The word “wordle” is just funny; it kind of tickles the tongue, makes the tongue vibrate just a bit.

Ms K has some ideas about how to use Wordle in the classroom. I may have to try some of them, IF we aren’t blocked!

What I like best is the random word associations that Wordle makes. For example, words from the Polliwog Journal are juxtaposed, adjacent, or otherwise associated in ways they were not intended to be. This word juggling creates a new order for the brain to consider. It seems there would be some discussion starters as a result.

There is something fun and new on the Web every day!

    Wordles may be the most fun you can have online without tripping a filter!
