Anti-Tag Cloud

An Anti-Tag Cloud shows you the most common English words that never appear in a text, visualizing the "negative space" of a literary work. Size indicates how frequent a word is across other texts.

Note: If you try this yourself on your own texts, be careful because the frequency data from Wiktionary includes the boilerplate headers and footers from Project Gutenberg. For any other source of data, you probably want a different frequency list anyway, more reflective of typical English.
