 One Word  is a simple writing prompt generator. The way it works is the user clicks "go" on the One Word  homepage and they are presented with one word. Users then have sixty seconds to write in the text box whatever comes to their minds regarding that word. The idea is not so much to write definitions of the words, but rather it is to write sentences using the word.
