New word
How are new words created or added to the dictionary? Must they have a unique meaning or can they be a combination of other words? How can you add a new word to the dictionary?

Anyone got a word for a place to vent out frustration?
I’m specifically looking for a place that only uses one word in what it’s called.
Other preferences for the word include:
-being a place where a person goes to do a thing, and not the action itself, very distinctly.
-the place involves doing violence.
Edit: I’m starting to think even niche reddit knowledge is not going to help me on this. Unfortunate for me I guess…

Defino – dictionary word game
Hello everyone,
I recently created a new online word game for my website, flemma.net, called Defino (available in both English and Italian).
The idea is simple: you try to guess a hidden word, but instead of random letters, you progressively uncover its dictionary definition. It’s kind of a mix between Hangman and Wordle, and it uses the Wiktionary API for the definitions.
I think it turned out pretty fun and visually quite cute. I might be slightly biased, but it feels a bit on the easy side to me (although I’m pretty good at guessing words from context, so I’m not entirely sure). People I’ve tested it on, however, seemed to find it more challenging.
One interesting thing I noticed is that the game feels quite different switching from English to Italian, since Italian Wiktionary definitions tend to be shorter. I don’t see it as a problem, just a curious difference between the two versions.
You can find it here (English): https://flemma.net/defino/en
I’d love to hear your thoughts. What do you think of the concept? Any feedback is very welcome!
