A Fun New Way to Choose a Word of the Year
What You'll Find on This Page
I love choosing my Word of the Year! I started this tradition back in 2015, although I arguably cheated by using one word two years in a row…
Why choose a word of the year? It’s really just for fun, but I find picking a word can help me focus on a way of living that I want to emphasize in a coming year. Each of the posts below explains how and why I chose a word of the year in past years.
- 2015 Word of the Year
- 2016 Word of the Year

Still thinking about how this yearly word game works? Read my post on how to choose a word of the year. To help you (and myself) out, I created this word of the year generator, and my friend Andie created this fun printable Word of the Year activity if you prefer an offline version of the same activity.

I used to use Happy Planners, but for 2023 I splurged on an Agendio planner and I’ve never gone back. It comes custom printed with my family birthdays, important events, and to do lists I created that are helpful for running my business.

Wonder what it means when you don’t get a Word of the Year. Is this the end…I won’t make it throught this year? :-(
Did that happen to you? I haven’t heard of that issue before. What happened when you pressed the button?
My word of the year for 2022 is “finish.” I think it will be very fitting:
1. I will be finishing up my 3rd Masters.
2. I should finish with scrapbooks I have started.
3. And hopefully this is the year the pandemic is finished!
That does sound very fitting! Good luck with the Masters and scrapbooks. And yes, I really hope you are right about the pandemic!
Jump! 😁
I like that one! Will you design some fabric to go with it?
Apparently, my word of the year is “LIVE” :) Happy New Year!
It’s hard to go wrong with that one. Thanks for playing, and Happy New Year!
I got open using your generator…. I’m not quite sure what I might pair that with, it’s rather, wait for it, open-ended.
I figured out part of the way through the year I forget about my word of the year, and just leave it sitting there lonely and forgotten, so I quit picking one, but I always enjoy seeing what others pick.
I LOVE this. So many of the words could be my “word”. I didn’t choose one this year, but I loved generating a bunch and thinking about how it applies to me.
The first word it gave me was “fail.” Hahaha! Tried again and got, “laugh.” I’ll take that. ;)
That’s quite the combo!
I think I’ll reuse my 2018 word, haven’t done much with it :-(
Happy New Year, dear Maryanne, hope it’s a great one.
