Fun from Twitter: Guess the Wordle

Fun Finding: Guess the Wordle

Guess the Wordle

 While I am familiar with Wordle, I have never seen it used to create a riddle.  Guess the Wordle is the clever creation of Jennifer Wagner.   New Wordles are posted several times a week and focus on a variety of educational topics.  I love the fact that these are ready to use and can be easily integrated into the beginning of a lesson to get students thinking!  Of course, if you or your students would like to create an original word cloud, visit the Wordle site.
