Questions people ask

What was yesterday’s word of the day?

It is the second entry below. The archive is worked out from your own date, so “yesterday” is always correct for your time zone.

How far back does the archive go?

Sixty days. Because Definio rotates through a fixed list of 264 words, every past word also has a permanent page you can bookmark.

Can I get past words for kids or students?

Each list page (kids, students, SAT & GRE and others) shows its own daily word, and the full list is below it in A–Z order.
