Show HN: Lastwordonearth.com (lastwordonearth.com)
This is a silly idea I had a couple years ago that I just recently launched. It's a slow, globally shared word "game" (or experiment?) to find the Last Word on Earth. It starts with about 174k words on a board and anyone in the world can click a word to remove it from the board. Poof, gone. Eventually, the whole world will have decided on one word that remains (other milestone numbers are tracked as well).
I imagine it's going to take a while to get down to a single word, but once that happens, it will be recorded and a fresh board will repopulate to start again. And again and again.
There is little chance of this happening but it would be hilarious if the first final word was "why"? That would make a lot of sense.
If you have a few seconds, add a few clicks to the board to help get the number down and let's see what happens!
And if you have a few more seconds, let me know if you have any ideas or see any issues. I'd love to hear any feedback at all.

Like maybe a big “jump to random words” button at the top to make it more varied…
