In the second week, the jury will select the 10 most frequently suggested words for the final poll", says Dolly Nikolova. From January 13 to 18, every participant in the survey will be able to vote for up to 3 of the 10 words. The most popular words for 2023 were "artificial intelligence" with 45%, "assemblage" with 37% and "time shelter" with 35% with of the votes.
