For newbies, word of the week usually runs Friday to Friday (this one will run until 25th). To enter, simply use the word (or any of its derivatives) in a post and reply to this thread with a link to the place where you have used it. The winner is decided by the previous setter, and earns points for their house as well as getting to choose the next word. If you have multiple characters, you may enter with more than one of them but with only one entry per character. If you have set the word, you may not enter, even with a different character, although you can always try using your own word just for the fun of it.
