Every year, the Merriam-Webster dictionary highlights a list of word that a lot of people searched for in the past year. This was last year's list:
Resolution rules:
This is an unlinked free response market. Anyone can submit an answer, and if that answer is one the 2023 words of the year it will resolve Yes. If the word is very close, such as "Indict" to "Indictment", it will also resolve Yes. Otherwise, it will resolve No.
If a word performs well here, I will add it as an option to the Linked Multiple Choice version of this market, which resolves only to singular 2023 Word of The Year:
Edit: We've reached 100 answers now, so no more can be added to this market! Submit any more potential words to the sequel market here:

@benshindel Deepfake references it too, with the Desantis campaign thing from last June: https://www.npr.org/2023/06/08/1181097435/desantis-campaign-shares-apparent-ai-generated-fake-images-of-trump-and-fauci
@33 oh good question, I definitely intended it in the broad sense, I guess it's up to @Joshua but I think any kind of abbreviation, initialism, or acronym should count
I didn't realize there was so much ambiguity in the definition: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acronym
This 2021 list has such a different vibe from the 2022 list in a way I don't know how to define.
@33 lol alright if you're willing to bet on it that's your call. I'm gonna need a new market soon though, we're almost to the 100 answer limit.
