Frequently Asked
Questions
Who
picks the Daily Buzzword?
We have a team of five editors who
choose, write, and edit the Daily Buzzword. At the end of each month, we
choose which words we will use in the coming month. Then each editor
writes one or two Daily Buzzword pieces each week. After the writers
finish, an editor checks all of the Buzzwords and prepares them for
posting on Word Central and for e-mailing to you.
How do you decide which words
to use?
We try to pick words that we think are interesting, fun,
and useful (especially for getting better grades on vocabulary or spelling
tests!). Sometimes we pick words that students or teachers have suggested
to us and sometimes we just pick words that we like.
How long does it take to write
each Daily Buzzword?
That varies from word to word, but on average
it takes 2-3 hours to research, write, edit, format, and post each Daily
Buzzword piece.
Can I suggest a word to be a
Daily Buzzword?
Sure. Just e-mail your suggestion to buzzword@merriam-webster.com.
We can't guarantee we will use it, but we'll consider it.
Do you have a
