This word cloud is made from 1786 interesting words in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. The distance between each pair of words is the minimum number of words separating them in the text. The distances were re-scaled, plotted in two dimensions, and re-scaled again. Words which are close to each other in the picture should generally appear close to each other somewhere in the text. The bigger and darker words are the ones which appeared most frequently.
