If you don’t have time to pore over word websites, Oneword is a perfect platform – it doesn’t have much time for you, either.

You like words, and would like to channel your inner writer. But you don’t have the time, don’t have the inspiration…a lot of us know that story, right?

Oneword puts a quick-fix end to your writer’s block by providing a one-word writing prompt, on an online platform where you can sprinkle out your thoughts in just 60 seconds.

The site is easy-to-use and discrete in appearance. Its succinct text gives the clearest of directions:

simple. you’ll see one word at the top of the following screen. you have sixty seconds to write about it. click ‘go’ and the page will load with the cursor in place.

don’t think. just write.

(And, apparently, don’t worry about capital letters.)

After clicking the “go” button, a word pops up with a space to write whatever you want, and a low-tech timer ticks off 60 seconds at the bottom of the page.

The site could easily become addictive, but it fortunately proposes only one word a day.

Who has time for more?
