Wordhunt was a national appeal run by the Oxford English Dictionary, looking for earlier evidence of the use of 50 words and phrases in the English language.[1] New evidence found by members of the public in response to the appeal appears in the Oxford English Dictionary.[2] The appeal is a companion to the BBC2 television series Balderdash and Piffle.
