Create Your Own Word of the Day

by John McGrath on March 16, 2011

Sweet Tooth Fairy of the Day

Wordnik offers a Word of the Day email every weekday. Now every Wordnik user can create their own Word of the Day, without worrying about details like managing subscribers or sending out emails. Ever wished Wordnik offered words of the day on specific topics, or a word a day for SAT study or other purposes? Now you can take it into your own hands :-)

From your profile page just click the ‘Create your own Word of the Day’ link in the right-hand column, and you can then add and schedule words, and invite friends to subscribe. You can invite other Wordniks by username, or anyone with an email address (they’ll have to create a Wordnik account to accept the invitation).

When viewing your own word of the day you’re able to see all of your words, past and future. If you look at someone else’s WotD you’ll only see past words, but with one click you’ll be able to sign up and receive new ones every day by email.

You can find recent WotDs to subscribe to on the Community page, or by checking out the complete list of all words of the day. We’ll be adding to this feature over time, so if you have any requests, please let us know in the comments.

Nice info– except I’m not sure yet what page is my profile page. I’ve tried clicking the words “create your own word of the day” on every wordnik page and so far I’m just redirected to this page– I’ll probably figure it out next time I visit the site! I’m slow that way, but I do tend to dope Internet stuff out eventually!

figured it out! Told you I would!

awesome! pushing updates by twitter in addition to / instead of email would be a great feature.

Hey guys, I am wondering if this feature still exists?
I was trying to access it. That is, look for the feature and came up with nothing. Some help would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

Hi Erik — I’m sorry, we turned off this feature. :-( I hope it will come back eventually when we can make it better.
