  • Q. What are the NYTimes Rules?

  • A. All words must come from our Word of the Day feature. 

    Check it out: all the Words published between Jan. 2 and Jan. 17, 2019 have a winning student-made video at the top to inspire you.)

    • Each word must be pronounced and defined, and the part of speech must be given. Please don’t forget; every year we have to disqualify many who fail to heed this rule.

    • All definitions must come from either the Word of the Day or Vocabulary.com. If there are several definitions, you may use just the first one if you like.

  • Q. How long should my video be?

    A. Your video should be no more than 15 seconds, but can be shorter.
