2017 Wordle Year in Review
Woefully late in posting this, but:
----
Go to Wordle and...
1) Paste in all entries you posted in January 2017 and make a Wordle configured any way you like
2) Paste in all entries you posted in February 2017 and make another Wordle configured any way you like
...
12) Paste in all entries you posted in December 2017 and make another Wordle configured any way you like
13) Make a Wordle out of your entries from ALL months of 2017, configured any way you like
Then post all of these Wordles to your LiveJournal and/or DreamWidth and/or whatever other blogging site(s) you're on!
You may do steps 1 - 12 only or step 13 only if you prefer.
It's up to you if you include subject lines, comments, community entries, friends-only entries, music tags, location tags, etc., and it's up to you whether you post your Wordles in a public or friends-only entry. Anything else I didn't think of is probably optional as well.
And if you're on more than one journal site (in this example, LJ and DW), you may do this for your LJ entries only, your DW entries only, your entries on both sites combined, all of the above - whichever. And you may post it to only one site or the other, or to both - whichever you prefer.
----
Personally I opted to do this for my LJ and DW entries separately AND combined, and post all three versions of each to both LJ and DW. Which means this took about six times as long to make as it usually does...
Left: LJ only
Center: LJ+DW combined
Right: DW only
You can also tell because I tried to skew the colors of the LJ-only ones towards LJ-blue and away from DW-red/pink, and vice versa for the DW-only ones. Looking at how some of the color schemes turned out, though, I might need to adjust my algorithm before my 2018 Wordle Year in Review...

Oh, and this year, I thought of a little word search game I could add onto this meme! (you don't have to make a little game like this if you make your own Wordle Year in Review though)
Last year when I did this, pathvain_aelien said, "I figured 'Mario' would show up in each one in pretty big letters. :)"
That gave me an idea: for each month, I picked five random words from that Wordle (and also another ten from the Wordle from the whole year) - usually ones that aren't quite as prominent as "Mario" typically is, but not necessarily exclusive to one particular month either. How many of these 70 words can you find in the Wordles I picked them from? :)
(Note that for this, I didn't make any distinction between the LJ and/or DW versions of the Wordles besides making sure to pick words that are visible in all three versions of each. So you can try and find each set of words in the LJ-only ones, the DW-only ones, or the LJ+DW combined ones - or all three if you're that bored! - it's up to you.)

Bonus: Your own username might be in at least one of these - in fact, if you commented in my journal at least once before August 19, 2017, your username is probably in the August ones at the very least, and it may be in others as well. Can you find it? :)
