Meaning \u2018to accidentally squirt juice and\/or pulp into one&#8217;s eye, as from a grapefruit, when eating,\u2019 Neil\u2019s word defined a universal experience, but also captured his unique creativity and humor. From its inception, Krieger used the word with such casual frequency that his children Hilary and Jonathan thought it was a regular word when they were growing up. It was only later that they discovered it could not be found in the dictionary.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAfter Neil Krieger became one of the more than 555,000 Americans to succumb to COVID-19, his children were eager to memorialize his well-lived life in a personal way that represented his personality. To honor their father\u2019s life, Hilary and Jonathan are on a mission to popularize the word and secure its entry into the official English language dictionary. To help them reach their goal, Zynga recently made \u2018orbisculate\u2019 the <i>Words With Friends<\/i> \u2018Word of the Day\u2019 and has now officially entered their special word into the in-game dictionary. Players can now view the full etymology of the word on its \u2018Definition\u2019 page and are encouraged to visit <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.orbisculate.com&amp;esheet=52413191&amp;newsitemid=20210419005048&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=www.orbisculate.com&amp;index=2&amp;md5=6ae64ee18c86b5c58f73464039f517ef\">www.orbisculate.com<\/a> to sign the Kriegers\u2019 petition and help support their efforts.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cThe word \u2018orbisculate\u2019 is so whimsical, but the story behind it resonates with people. Making it the \u2018Word of the Day\u2019 in <i>Words With Friends<\/i> is a very personal tribute to our father, but also to all families who have been affected by COVID-19,\u201d said Hilary Krieger. \u201cOur dad would have gotten a huge kick out of his creation being played in <i>Words With Friends<\/i>. Being part of a game that\u2019s played by millions will help add our father\u2019s word to the vernacular, and ultimately, the English language dictionary,\u201d added Jonathan Krieger.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cOver the past year, through initiatives like #PlayApartTogether, we\u2019ve seen the gaming community come together again and again to support each other,\u201d said Bernard Kim, President of Publishing at Zynga. \u201cIn getting to know the Kriegers through their campaign, we\u2019ve been inspired by the spirit of this initiative and so admire the life and legacy of their father. Let\u2019s help them achieve their goal.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nLaunched in 2009, <i>Words With Friends<\/i> has grown from popular mobile game to global pop culture sensation. Since then, the game has expanded to new platforms like Facebook Messenger, launched a hit sequel with <i>Words With Friends 2<\/i> and brought innovative new ways to play to people around the world. The game\u2019s success through this decade-long journey has been powered by player connections made through quick and clever wordplay that has become a touchstone in fans\u2019 lives.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nFor supporting still and video assets, visit: <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FWWF_Orbisculate&amp;esheet=52413191&amp;newsitemid=20210419005048&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FWWF_Orbisculate&amp;index=3&amp;md5=735a7c44f249d65dc3d184c3d981226a\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/WWF_Orbisculate<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\nTo keep up to date with the latest news, follow <i>Words With Friends<\/i> on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2FWordsWFriends&amp;esheet=52413191&amp;newsitemid=20210419005048&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Twitter&amp;index=4&amp;md5=4d77f0f5ebf8734fec354839c6e83bd3\">Twitter<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FWordsWithFriends%2F&amp;esheet=52413191&amp;newsitemid=20210419005048&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Facebook&amp;index=5&amp;md5=3b9867d838f40843f78b3f73e5e5f313\">Facebook<\/a> and <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Fwordswithfriends%2F&amp;esheet=52413191&amp;newsitemid=20210419005048&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Instagram&amp;index=6&amp;md5=949fa9cfc87266546a29be20c4c07692\">Instagram<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n<p><b>About Zynga<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nZynga is a global leader in interactive entertainment with a mission to connect the world through games.
