'Queen' has been chosen by UK's children as the word of the year for 2022, as per a research by Oxford University Press (OUP). While 'Queen' topped the voting, the second most voted word was "happy", followed by the word "chaos".
OUP has analysed and tracked how children’s vocabulary has changed for many years now. Previously, they analysed children’s writings that were submitted through a competition to understand this trend. But in 2022, they asked approximately 4,000 children in the UK between the age group of six to 14 to suggest their word of the year for 2022.
