Personally, I would just try to fake it. It'd be fairly complex and time-consuming to try and code the stacking of random word layouts when you could get the same effect in a 10th of the time
So perhaps manually create the stacks and 'random' layouts (grid dimensions, rotations, etc) using blocks / rectangle's. In each of those blocks would be a textfield instance of the same size. Then get the string via XML for each, change the string value of the textfield, and then match the textfield size to the block (which would scale the text up or down), and then hide the block, leaving behind the text. Run a loop to change all of the block to text. Then randomly change the color of each textfield. Then, do a secondary grid that overlaps the first one with another random grid layout.
That's probably the easiest and quickest way to do something like that.
