  • This had me confused for a long time. If you “search” for a word for which there is no Wordnik entry Wordnik will generate an entry page with that word as its title. That page will be empty of content. You can then add a definition as a comment. Anyone else searching for that word will come to that page with your comment as the only substance. They can add a comment of their own, of course. I do not know of a mechanism by which an entry defined only by a comment is promoted into an entry with information in the “Definitions” section. This way of doing things unfortunately means that every misspelled search generates an entry page. Wordniks learn to stay alert.

  • I'd suggest searching for the word, then adding a comment about it - that way, someone else can come along, ask "what does nurple mean?", and see what someone else thinks it means.


    Creating lists of new words also helps find those new words in the future.
