Global Copywriting BRIEF: The Wordle Is...
"Hi Duncan, That's right. The more prominent the words appear in your Wordle graphic, the more often they're used in your text. It's a great way to make sure you're hitting your keywords if you're writing for SEO - or the right keywords. It's great for any writer though as it reveals when you've used a word too often. I recently wrote a short blog post - under 300 words - and 'scour' came up 3 times. I had no idea I had used it more than once. Believe me, that's not a word you need use often.

"You're right, Duncan. Even though I've always thought I've been careful, the more I dig into this topic the more I find out how much we're all giving away and much of it inadvertently. While I'm not worried about content I'm intentionally publishing - like blogs - it's the odd rant on Twitter or a nonsense Facebook wall post that could really come back to bite. Recruiters are turning to social media more and more to vet candidates. It's a HUGE topic. Thanks for your keen observation. I appreciate it. "
