Description

Summary

Input a load of text, generate a word cloud which highlights the most used words (filtering out common words like 'the', 'and', 'it' etc.).

The basic output type could be a ranked list and the present type could be an image or some other HTML-based display.

Research direction
Investigate how existing operations like 'Count occurrences' are implemented in CyberChef, particularly the operation class structure in 'src/core/operations/'. Look into using a word cloud generation library (e.g., d3 cloud) and how to integrate it into the web interface. Review the issue comments for any specific requirements or constraints mentioned by maintainers.
