Any assignment you're expected to complete after school and bring back to class the next day is called homework . Many students make up excuses for not having their homework done. The "My dog ate my homework " excuse doesn't work so well in the digital age.

High school students typically have a lot of homework most days, and often that's true for younger students as well. In college, an increasing amount of school work is done outside of class, as homework (even if you do it in the library, a cafe, or a dorm). Homework originally referred to any work done at home, including cooking and cleaning. The first example of the "school work" meaning dates from the late 1880s.

Hey fellow impactful ninja ?

You may have noticed that Impactful Ninja is all about providing helpful information to make a positive impact on the world and society. And that we love to link back to where we found all the information for each of our posts.

Most of these links are informational-based for you to check out their primary sources with one click.

But some of these links are so-called "affiliate links" to products that we recommend.

Why do we add these product links?

First and foremost, because we believe that they add value to you. For example, when we wrote a post about the environmental impact of long showers, we came across an EPA recommendation to use WaterSense showerheads. So we linked to where you can find them. Or, for many of our posts, we also link to our favorite books on that topic so that you can get a much more holistic overview than one single blog post could provide.

And when there is an affiliate program for these products, we sign up for it. For example, as Amazon Associates, we earn from qualifying purchases.

What do these affiliate links mean for you?

First, and most importantly, we still only recommend products that we believe add value for you.

When you buy something through one of our affiliate links, we may earn a small commission - but at no additional costs to you.

And when you buy something through a link that is not an affiliate link, we won’t receive any commission but we’ll still be happy to have helped you.

What do these affiliate links mean for us?

When we find products that we believe add value to you and the seller has an affiliate program, we sign up for it.

When you buy something through one of our affiliate links, we may earn a small commission (at no extra costs to you).

And at this point in time, all money is reinvested in sharing the most helpful content with you. This includes all operating costs for running this site and the content creation itself.

What does this mean for me personally?

You may have noticed by the way Impactful Ninja is operated that money is not the driving factor behind it. It is a passion project of mine and I love to share helpful information with you to make a positive impact on the world and society. However, it's a project in that I invest a lot of time and also quite some money.

Eventually, my dream is to one day turn this passion project into my full-time job and provide even more helpful information. But that's still a long time to go.

A Brief History of Our Alphabet

The story of our alphabet has a rich and compelling history , beginning with ancient civilizations and carrying forward into the present day.

The history of our modern alphabet is a fascinating journey that spans several millennia and cultures. It’s commonly referred to as the Latin or Roman alphabet, and here’s a brief overview of its evolution:

• Phoenician Alphabet (circa 1050 BCE) : The story begins with the Phoenician alphabet, one of the oldest writing systems known to use a one-to-one correspondence between sounds and symbols. This Semitic alphabet had about 22 consonants, but no vowels, and was primarily used for trade.
• Greek Alphabet (circa 800 BCE) : The Greeks borrowed and adapted the Phoenician script. Crucially, they introduced vowels, making it one of the first true alphabets where each symbol represented a distinct sound (both vowel and consonant). The Greek alphabet had a significant influence on the development of other alphabets.
• Etruscan Alphabet (circa 700 BCE) : The Etruscan civilization in Italy adapted the Greek alphabet to their own language. While Etruscan was largely replaced by Latin, their version of the alphabet was a key predecessor to the Roman one.
• Latin Alphabet (circa 700 BCE – Present) : The Latin alphabet emerged from the adaptation of the Etruscan script. Ancient Rome used this alphabet, and it spread across Europe as the Roman Empire expanded. The original Latin alphabet did not contain the letters J, U, and W. These were added much later along with other modifications to suit different languages and phonetic needs.
• Modern Variations : Today, the Latin alphabet is the most widely used alphabetic writing system in the world. It has undergone various changes to accommodate different languages and sounds. For instance, English—among other languages—added letters like ‘J’, ‘U’, and ‘W’, while other languages incorporate additional characters like ‘Ñ’ in Spanish or ‘Ç’ in French.

This evolution reflects not just linguistic changes but also cultural and historical shifts, as the alphabet was adapted by different societies across centuries.

Homework Words

Words related to homework.

Below is a massive list of homework words - that is, words related to homework. The top 4 are: schoolwork , classroom , teacher and practice . You can get the definition(s) of a word in the list below by tapping the question-mark icon next to it. The words at the top of the list are the ones most associated with homework, and as you go down the relatedness becomes more slight. By default, the words are sorted by relevance/relatedness, but you can also get the most common homework terms by using the menu below, and there's also the option to sort the words alphabetically so you can get homework words starting with a particular letter. You can also filter the word list so it only shows words that are also related to another word of your choosing. So for example, you could enter "schoolwork" and click "filter", and it'd give you words that are related to homework and schoolwork.

You can highlight the terms by the frequency with which they occur in the written English language using the menu below. The frequency data is extracted from the English Wikipedia corpus, and updated regularly. If you just care about the words' direct semantic similarity to homework, then there's probably no need for this.

There are already a bunch of websites on the net that help you find synonyms for various words, but only a handful that help you find related , or even loosely associated words. So although you might see some synonyms of homework in the list below, many of the words below will have other relationships with homework - you could see a word with the exact opposite meaning in the word list, for example. So it's the sort of list that would be useful for helping you build a homework vocabulary list, or just a general homework word list for whatever purpose, but it's not necessarily going to be useful if you're looking for words that mean the same thing as homework (though it still might be handy for that).

If you're looking for names related to homework (e.g. business names, or pet names), this page might help you come up with ideas. The results below obviously aren't all going to be applicable for the actual name of your pet/blog/startup/etc., but hopefully they get your mind working and help you see the links between various concepts. If your pet/blog/etc. has something to do with homework, then it's obviously a good idea to use concepts or words to do with homework.

If you don't find what you're looking for in the list below, or if there's some sort of bug and it's not displaying homework related words, please send me feedback using this page. Thanks for using the site - I hope it is useful to you! 🐦

Wordle Analysis

Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here .

My opening guess was super lucky. FLOUR left me with just 9 words, though I could only think of a few myself. Why did I choose FLUNK for guess #2 instead of FLUSH, which I almost went with? I just thought it would be super ironic if FLUNK ended up being the word and I didn’t go for it. Like salt in the wound. I’d rather lose on a different word than lose on this one, basically. I figured, why not? Lucky for me, FLUNK was the Wordle!

Competitive Wordle Score

I get 2 points for guessing in two and 1 point for beating the Bot, who took four tries today. Huzzah for me!

How To Play Competitive Wordle

• Guessing in 1 is worth 3 points; guessing in 2 is worth 2 points; guessing in 3 is worth 1 point; guessing in 4 is worth 0 points; guessing in 5 is -1 points; guessing in 6 is -2 points and missing the Wordle is -3 points.
• If you beat your opponent you get 1 point. If you tie, you get 0 points. And if you lose to your opponent, you get -1 point. Add it up to get your score. Keep a daily running score or just play for a new score each day.
• Fridays are 2XP, meaning you double your points—positive or negative.
• You can keep a running tally or just play day-by-day. Enjoy!

Today’s Wordle Etymology

The word "flunk" comes from late 19th-century American slang. It evolved from the term "flunky," which means an inept person or servant, and is influenced by the idea of failing or being inadequate.

Google Says It Fixed Image Generator That Failed to Depict White People

The company will allow users of its Gemini chatbot to create images of people with artificial intelligence after disabling the feature six months ago.

• Share full article

By Nico Grant

Reporting from San Francisco

In February, Google faced a backlash from users who realized its A.I. chatbot Gemini was unable to reliably create images of white people . To quell the controversy, the company shut down Gemini’s ability to depict any human.

On Wednesday, Google began turning the feature back on for users who pay to use the English-language version of the chatbot, Gemini Advanced, the company said in a blog post. The company also said it would incorporate the latest version of its image generator, Imagen 3, into the chatbot.

The updates are an attempt at a redo for a company that has staked its future on artificial intelligence but has frequently failed to stick the landing with its A.I. products.

“With Imagen 3, we’ve made significant progress in providing a better user experience when generating images of people,” Dave Citron, a Google senior director, wrote in a blog post. The service will be set not to depict photorealistic images of public figures, minors or violent imagery, he added.

Weeks after Gemini was launched, users noticed that it would not show white individuals. When asked to depict U.S. founding fathers and Catholic popes, for example, it depicted women and men of various races.

Besides sparking controversy, the revelation eroded confidence in Google’s ability to manage artificial intelligence capabilities. The company had also stumbled with the initial launch of its chatbot Bard, which got a fact wrong in one of its first public outings. The Bard gaffe was an embarrassing moment just as the A.I. boom was starting to take off.

Critics of Google latched on to the problems with Gemini. Elon Musk, the owner of the social media service X, said on his platform that Google’s A.I. “is so racist & sexist.” A range of social media users echoed his remarks as Google vowed to fix the technology.

Besides incorporating the new version of Imagen into Gemini, Google announced that its corporate customers could start creating so-called Gems, which are customized versions of Gemini that can be used as a coding partner, learning coach or writing editor.

The company reminded users that even with improvements, its technology would make errors.

“Of course, not every image Gemini creates will be perfect,” Mr. Citron wrote, “but we’ll continue to listen to feedback from early access Gemini Advanced users as we keep improving.”

Word of the Day

What it means.

To lollygag is to spend time doing things that are not useful or serious, or in other words, to fool around and waste time.

// Stop lollygagging and get to work!

// The player was kicked off the team for lollygagging during practice.

See the entry >

lollygag in Context

“Pete … dates all the way back to 1925 in the Disney ‘Alice Comedies.’ He’s older than Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, who first appeared in Disney’s 1927 ‘Trolley Troubles.’ And he’s older than Mickey Mouse himself, who made his debut in 1928’s ‘Steamboat Willie,’ along with none other than Pete. Back then, however, he was Captain Pete—and a decidedly bad boss to an admittedly shoddy employee more interested in whistling and lollygagging than swabbing the decks.” — Julie Tremaine, SFGate.com , 23 Mar. 2023

Did You Know?

Lollygag (sometimes spelled lallygag ) has been used informally to talk about acts of wasting time since at least the mid-19th century. Some might relate to this 1856 quote from The North Californian : “Oh ye denizens of cooler climes, how we do envy you in these days. Oh, for a lodge on some vast iceberg, or a chance to lallygag amid piles of snow!” In its earlier days, lollygag could also apply to displays of affection; back in 1946, one Navy captain considered lollygagging enough of a problem to issue this stern warning: “Lovemaking and lollygagging are hereby strictly forbidden.... The holding of hands ... is a violation of naval discipline....” Nowadays, lollygag doesn’t usually refer to flirting or cuddling—instead, it’s the “dawdle” meaning that gets the love.

How to share your Wordle results without spoilers

Wordle has a built-in method of sharing your results in a spoiler-free way, so that those you sent it to don't see today's Wordle word itself, only the colours in your grid to show how well you did.

To share your Wordle results, simply complete (or lose) today's Wordle, and then wait a moment for the statistics panel to appear on your screen. Then tap the "SHARE" button.

On PC this will simply copy the text into your clipboard, so you can then paste the text anywhere you wish, whether it's a private message or a status update on social media. On iPhone or Android, when you tap the "SHARE" button you'll have the option either to copy to clipboard, or to share the results directly to another app on your phone (such as WhatsApp or Twitter).

Using the built-in sharing feature of Wordle is a much nicer way of sharing your results than potentially spoiling the answer to those who haven't yet had the chance to play today's Wordle themselves. So we highly encourage you to use it!

How to play Wordle

Wordle is wonderfully simple. The aim is to guess the correct five-letter word within six guesses. After each guess, the letters of your chosen word will highlight green if they're in the correct place, yellow if they're in the wrong place, or grey if they don't appear in the word at all.

Using these clues you can start to narrow down the correct word. Head over to the Wordle site to try it for yourself!

How did Wordle begin?

Wordle began life as a little family game created by software engineer Josh Wardle. He created the game so that he and his partner could play a fun little word game together during the pandemic, and they quickly realised that there was something quite special in this simple little guessing game. So after a bit of refinement, Wardle released it to the public on his website, Power Language .

The game was released in October 2021, and by the end of the year the game had two million daily players. It became a viral hit, thanks in large part to the ease with which players could share their results in a spoiler-free manner on Twitter and other social media sites. In January 2022, Wardle accepted an offer from the New York Times to acquire Wordle for a seven-figure sum. Well done, Mr Wardle. Well done indeed.

Are any Wordle words not allowed?

You can type in pretty much any five-letter word in the English language and Wordle will accept it as a guess. However, the answer is picked each day from a much smaller list of more common five-letter words. There are still thousands of possible answers, of course, but it means the answer will never be a word as obscure as, say, "THIOL", or "CAIRD", or "MALIC" (yes, those are all real words).

There are very occasional words which the New York Times will choose not to publish as the day's Wordle answer, perhaps for reasons relating to recent news or politics. For example, shortly after news broke that Roe v Wade might be overturned in the United States, the NYT decided to change the March 30th word from "FETUS" to "SHINE", as the feeling was that the word "fetus" was too politically charged a word in the context of recent events.

The New York Times has also been careful never to allow what they consider to be rude words as the answer to a Wordle puzzle. But of course there's nothing stopping you from using even the dirtiest of words as guesses, as long as they're accepted words in the dictionary, and as long as you realise that they'll never end up being the answer.

Is Wordle getting too easy for you?

If Wordle is starting to get too easy, there are a few ways you can make the game more challenging for yourself. The first choice is to turn on Hard Mode. You can do this on the Wordle site by clicking the cog icon in the top-right of the screen. Hard Mode means that any highlighted letters must be used in all future guesses. This stops you from using the common tactic of choosing two words like "OUNCE" and "PAINS" to test all five vowels early on.

You can take it up another notch by playing by what we call "Ultra-Hard" rules. This means that every guess you enter must potentially be the answer. If you were just playing on Hard Mode, and you typed "MOIST", and the "O" appeared yellow, then nothing would stop you from making "POLAR" as your next word, even though it couldn't possibly be the answer because you already know the "O" is in the wrong place. If you play by "Ultra-Hard" rules, that's not allowed. You must adhere to every clue, and make sure every single word you enter is potentially the answer.

If after all that Wordle is still too easy for you, then you could always try one of the many other Wordle-inspired games online that have cropped up over the past year. One of our favourites is Worldle , in which you must guess a country of the world based on its shape. There's also Waffle , which is about swapping letters in a completed grid to complete all the words; Moviedle , which shows you an entire movie in a tiny space of time and challenges you to guess the movie within six guesses; and Quordle , which tasks you with solving four Wordles at once with the same guesses.

If you need some help with future Wordles, be sure to check out our list of the best Wordle starting words for the greatest chance of success. You can also check out our archive of past Wordle answers to see which words have been chosen previously.
