Using wordcloud()

library(wordcloud)

word_counts <- tidy_review %>% 
  count(word)

wordcloud(
  words = word_counts$word, 
  freq = word_counts$n, 
  max.words = 30
)

Fixed size and random start points

wordcloud(
  words = word_counts$word, 
  freq = word_counts$n, 
  max.words = 30
)

Number of words in the cloud

wordcloud(
  words = word_counts$word, 
  freq = word_counts$n, 
  max.words = 70
)

Using colors

wordcloud(
  words = word_counts$word, 
  freq = word_counts$n, 
  max.words = 30,
  colors = "blue"
)
