CURATOR REQUEST

Can't find the word that feels like yours?

Request it for review. If it fits the Own A Word archive, our curators may add it to a future Wordsday Wednesday drop.

Not every word is in the archive yet. Some words begin as requests, then become part of a future release.

Curated, not automatic

Every requested word is reviewed before it enters the archive.

Built for meaningful words

We prioritize English words with emotional, personal, story, gift, healing, identity, or legacy value.

Future word drops

Approved words may be added during an upcoming Words day Wednesday release.

Request a Word

Submitting a request does not reserve the word.
If approved, we’ll let you know when it becomes available.
