The Calendar

Every word, every day

One word is opened each day at midnight in Japan. Pick any day that has arrived to read how its word is built and where it came from, or filter the calendar to light up the days whose words share a level, layer, process or part of speech.

A word sits on the day it was first opened. Once every word has had its day, they come round again: those days are marked ↻ and open the word's original day.
