Merriam–Webster's Words of the Year, a list published annually by the American dictionary-publishing company Merriam–Webster, features the ten words of the year from the English language. This list started in 2003, and is published at the end of each year. At first, Merriam–Webster determined its contents by analyzing page hits and popular searches on its website. Since 2006, the list has been determined by an online poll and by suggestions from visitors to the site.
