Wordle update

Erin's wordle

It is now possible to embed wordles in blogs and wikis. I had such a job before pasting in screen grabs! Have made some changes to the wiki

If anyone else still has the URL of their wordle please email me it as the search feature in the gallery is no longer available.

Another new feature is the ability to link words together. If you type in a tilde ~ between words they won't be treated separately eg un~chat or un~poisson~rouge
