Stuff that MattRs

Matt Rutherford included Peaklet in the February 23rd Stuff that MattRs newsletter. It turns out that February 23rd's puzzle was probably the most difficult Peaklet to date. Sorry about that, new players. That puzzle had been scheduled before I knew Matt would include Peaklet in his newsletter.

📖 The dictionary is ever-changin'

New words come along every year. I'm pretty sure the pace of new words entering our collective consciousness has risen in recent years, thanks to the Internet allowing everyone to use those new words for everyone else to see.

We don't just get new words, though. We get new definitions for old words, plus old words suddenly getting new life.

That's what this list is about: the top words of 2025.
