# NYT Words of the Day
This is a list of 2,378 words and their meanings from
[NYT Word of the Day](https://www.nytimes.com/column/learning-word-of-the-day) from
Oct. 17, 2009 to Nov. 30, 2021.
The [original list is available here](https://int.nyt.com/data/documenttools/vocabulary-video-contest-2021-word-list/8dd26e74fef8fe88/full.pdf).
The meanings were retrieved with the Python script `get_meanings.py`.
## Anki flashcards
2,333 of the words are now in flashcards. Please see the [releases]([url](https://github.com/kaczmarj/NYT-word-of-the-day/releases)). The script `make_csv.py` was used to make a CSV of the words and meanings, and this CSV was imported into Anki to create a deck. Some of the words are not included in the flashcards because they were not valid in the eyes of PyDictionary (consisted of multiple words).
