Describe a feeling, a moment or a person. We create a word that has never existed, check it, and record it to you — and only you — in a public dictionary.
The lazy happiness of a Sunday morning when two people stay in bed, say nothing, and let the hours go by.

Write the meaning in your own words: a feeling, an inside joke, the way someone makes you feel.
We suggest five new, easy-to-say words, each with its pronunciation. Pick the one that fits.
We search for the word in dictionaries in 16 languages and on the web, and check it for unwanted meanings in other languages.
Your word gets its own dictionary page, a pronunciation, a certificate and a card to share. No one else can have it in this dictionary.
Have a word you made up yourself? We can check and record that too.

A Word For is an online service that coins a brand-new word for a meaning you describe: a feeling, a moment or a person. We check that the word does not already exist and record it to you in a public online dictionary, with its own page, a certificate and an independent timestamp.
It is a newly coined word with a real, public dictionary entry on awordfor.com that anyone can visit. It is not added to official dictionaries such as Oxford, Merriam-Webster or TDK; it lives in A Word For, the dictionary of one.
You get a symbolic, personal record: while it is valid, no one else can have the same word in this dictionary. It is not a trademark or legal ownership, and other people can still say and use the word.
Before recording, every word is searched in dictionaries in 16 languages and with an exact-match web search, and reviewed for unwanted meanings in other languages. The page shows the result and the date of the check.
Coining takes about a minute. Right after payment you receive, by e-mail and online: the word's dictionary page with its pronunciation, a certificate to print or save as a PDF, a high-resolution poster image, share images and a timestamp proof file. Everything is digital; nothing is shipped.
