Cambridge Dictionary Announces 'Homer' as Word of the Year 2022
The Cambridge Dictionary revealed its word of the year for 2022 as "homer", saying that it was inspired by the global word game sensation, Wordle. The word "homer" was searched for nearly 75,000 times during the first week of May 2022, when it was an answer in the word game Wordle. In the context of the game, "homer" does not refer to the Greek poet and author, or a character from Simpson, but refers to an informal American English word for a 'home run' in baseball.
Cambridge Dictionary also saw other five-letter words surging in search in 2022 due to the "Wordle effect". The American spelling of "humor" caused the second-highest spike in 2022, followed by "caulk", "tacit, and "bayou", the third, fourth, and fifth place respectively. Cambridge said that the decision to choose this word was influenced by the famous game 'Wordle'.
