Every year, the Merriam-Webster dictionary chooses a word of the year. These are the words they have chosen in the past:

Resolution rules:

This is a Linked Multiple Choice. I can add answers, and will be crowd-sourcing promising answers from the Unlinked version of this market:

This market resolves to the single 2023 Word of The Year chosen by Merriam-Webster, or to [No Correct Answer Submitted Before Announcement] if the correct answer is not added before the official announcement.

If a submitted word is very close, such as "Indict" to "Indictment", it will also resolve Yes.

The MW word of the year is Authentic! We were on the right track with the AI stuff, but didn't forsee that it would have a more positive spin!

I find this market. "Oh neat, surely there must be a higher chance of rizz than THAT" It resolves immediately after I place the bet before I navigate away 💀

Your betting on this market made me curious to go check webster and lo and behold the announcement was posted just today 😅

Well the original market hit 100 answers, so new market for submissions is here:

I've added the highest answers from this market. Any other suggestions?

Added chatbot and am now having the horrible realization that these answers stay in the same order and I should have put the None Correct answer on the top 😭

@Joshua 🤣😂

Is this about what word is rank 1?

Yes, this market is about the #1 word of the year according to Webster. The Unlinked Market where you can nominate words will resolve a word yes if it's any in the top ten, but this linked market resolves only to the #1 word or to [No Correct Answer Submitted Before Announcement].

I don't have an exact system in mind for adding words based on the Unlinked Market, anyone is welcome to DM me or comment here if they think a word is doing well there and deserves to be added here. I'll pay the 25 mana, you just have to convince me it's an option worth adding.
