Artwiculate – Wordplay Competition that Gets You Retweeted
This Twitter-based competition gives you a new word every day which you have to try to fit into your Tweets. Then if you post it and people like it they can say so or retweet your message. If you get a positive response you’ll be rewarded with points and could get your message on the front page. The aim of the game is to gather kudos by winning points and being among the favourites for each day, but the added benefit is that it can also draw attention to your messages and encourage others to retweet them.
The word for each day is on the main page with a definition, so it’s a handy game to increase vocabulary too. The ways people have found to fit each word into a tweet are quite comical, and you can follow Artwiculate on Twitter to have the daily word challenge sent to you. Winners for the previous day are posted, and those with the highest total score appear in their own prestigious list on the main page. A lot of fun to take part in especially if you challenge your friends to fit the unusual word into their tweets of the day.
The site needs a few more instructions. To have your word included in the daily contest you need to follow Artwiculate on Twitter and post your Tweet using the day’s word to @Artwiculate. That works anyway and I think it’s the way to do it. More instructions Artwiculate?
Actually you only need to Tweet the word so it’s very simple, and great fun.
