365 New Words-A-Year Page-A-Day® Calendar 2025: From the Editors of Merriam-Webster Calendar – Day to Day Calendar, August 6, 2024

So fun to see my boss use. He used to come to me for his word of the day, but now I go to him! It’s always fun to see what word comes up and to see him try and fit it into his sentences throughout the day.

This calendar has become a daily ritual I actually look forward to. Every morning I tear off a new page and get hit with a word that’s either unfamiliar, oddly specific, or just plain fun. The mix of definitions, pronunciation, sample usage, and etymology makes each entry feel complete, not just a dictionary blurb.It’s surprisingly satisfying—like brain coffee. Some words are obscure enough that I’ll never use them, but that’s part of the charm. If you’re a student, a writer, or just someone who likes feeling a little sharper before lunch, this is a no-brainer.Solid gift idea too.

What can I say...this is awesome ! It's exactly what I was looking for. No special reason...just to expand my Vocab a bit. And let me say...each day there is a different Word and some of these Words I have Never heard of before ! I suppose one is never to old for learning. I absolutely Reco this If your thinking the same thing.

If only the kids would read it

We have bought this word-a-day for the last 5 years. It's a fun way to start the morning, a cup of coffee, a light breakfast and a challenge to get your minds going. My wife and I alternate every other day, so I get a challenge, then the next day it's her turn.If we don't know the work off the bat, they have a sentence (like phone a friend for help!), that we can ask for to help figure it out.It's fun and surprising how many works we know and how many we don't. When we have guest we share with them the word of the day and they also love the challenge.

If your child has a homework desk at home, or is home schooled, this is a great addition to that area. Learning a new word a day is a fantastic way to increase their vocabulary and build their communication and writing skills. Keep the torn off pages to do a little quiz at the end of the month or week!

I like this best of the various word of the day calendars. The word choice is a good mix of moderately familiar to pretty obscure words. The definitions are comprehensive and there is usually an my example sentence or quote. I especially appreciate the etymology section.I homeschool my kids (6th thru 10th grade) and often use these words in their vocab lessons.

I had assumed the word of the day would be actual words that you could use every day. In my opinion, not fun at all. I bought my son one as well and he isn't happy with it. The words go all the way back to the 15th century. So far I haven't seen a word from this century.
