'The Great Gatsby' on Wordle

Above, another in our series of Wordles on literary works. This time, the entire text of The Great Gatsby, which our Leaving Cert candidates are currently studying as part of their comparative course. Click on it for a closer view.

You can see the 250 most common words - dominated by the three names that Nick Carraway uses most.  Then there are other interesting recurring words, such as 'sport', 'eyes', 'room', 'door', 'house' and 'moment' - plenty for interesting discussion.

Wordle is at www.wordle.net.
