Wordles of the PHB and DMG

PHB Wordle

DMG Wordle

Ref: Wordle - Beautiful Word Clouds

It'd be interesting to compare these to a 3.5 set of wordles.

This is *so* cool. How did you get the entire text of the book?

Interesting that "+2" is pretty clearly the most common bonus.

Quick, someone run the 3.5 SRD through this!

edit: Possibly "Sor/Wiz" will come on top of that one

So the PHB is mostly about ATTACK, the DMG is about CHARACTERS.

In the process of copy/pasting the entirety of the 3.5 SRD into one place so it can be Wordle-ized. I've been waiting for a while, since I mistakenly copy/pasted it all into Google Chrome and that browser isn't supported by Wordle yet. Repasting it all into InternautExploder is taking longer than anticipated.

Also, copy/pasting all of the 3.5 SRD took WAY longer than I thought it would. Do you know that there's no real place to find all of it on one page. I had to click on like 75 links to get all that info into one text block.

(fake edit: Here ya go!)

It appears that Can and Spell were the most common.

The PDF versions are on sale, as far as I know.

As the majority of powers have the keyword "attack", it's not surprising that that is the most common word in the PH.

Tell me about it. I tried copy/pasting the SRD, section by section, into a single Word Doc. By the time I was done, my computer fan was running so hard I thought my computer was going to explode. I'm afraid if I ever open the file again, I'm just going to get a blue screen with big block letters saying WTF!

There's a whole thread of RPG wordles over on Story-Games:
Story Games for Everybody - Let's Wordle us some books

It's mostly indie RPGs, though the 4e wordles started the whole thing.

Wordle - Forgotten Realms Campaign Set (1st Edition)

Interesting how you can clearly see some iconic Realms nouns like: "Elminster", "Shadowdale", "Waterdeep", and "Zhentil".

Hmm...

The most obvious word in 3.5 is "Can".

Yeah, makes sense to me.
