I got as far as creating a field in which the words were randomized and sized according to their frequency but I was looking for something that packed/arranged individual words (single orientation) and that looks quite tricky.

Why do I think that would be quite a difficult thing to do?

Lots of different size snippets of text, differently coloured,
and at differing angles.

Do you mean a stack to make a word cloud from the text drawn from a website
like this: 
https://www.jasondavies.com/wordcloud/#http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bbc.com%2Fnews%2F

or a stack to generate a word cloud from text imported or entered into a 
text field?

Certainly, I should have thought the latter would be considerably easier.

Very attractive as they are, I cannot quite see the point of them.
