Ten Words Of Wisdom, or TWOW, is a competitive YouTube game created and by Cary Huang (carykh), of Battle for Dream Island fame, notable for its massive scale (It began with 491 contestants). The game is about answering various prompts (e.g. Write a haiku about plants) in 10 words or fewer. The responses have to be witty, poetic and funny, but a pun or two doesn't hurt. These responses are judged by viewers (which includes contestants) anonymously, eliminating the lowest ranked contestants.A sequel, Eleven Words of Wisdom, is current running. This season have several new mechanics, including a lives system and prompts now being 11 words or fewer. In contrast to TWOW, there are now 16,506 contestants, along with 100 A.I. contestants and Cary himself, for a total of 16,607 contestants. | |

Tempting Fate: The "Efficiency Curse," in which Cary mentions the most "efficient" contestantnote those who manage to consistently grab the last safe spot in one episode, only for the contestant to be eliminated shortly after... The final efficient twower was The Mighty Midge, eliminated in 5th. | |

Vocal Evolution: Cary's voice is much more clear later in the series. It's especially noticeable since he uses his old voice clips to explain how to vote and summarize the remaining TWOWers. | |

Portmanteau: From 6B: Twowth (TWOW + death) From 10B: Twompt (TWOW + prompt) From 13B: Twat (TWOW + chat), announcing the then-new Discord server. Due to the offensive nature of the word, 14A gave us two new portmanteau names for the server, CHOW (chat + TWOW) and HUAT (Huang + chat). From 20A: Twitter (TWOW + bitter), announcing Cary's then-new Twitter accountnote his account was created in April 2016, but his first tweet wasn't until November 10, the day before TWOW 20A came out From 20B (part 1): Twart (TWOW + smart) From 22A: Twama (TWOW + drama) | |

World of Pun | |
| Ten Words of Wisdom (Web Video) / int_86eea0e5 | comment |
World of Pun: TWOW responses is filled to the brim with puns. This is due to the players realizing that they can succeed using them. Currently zig-zagged. In the latter stages, pun-based responses lost out in originality after contestants tried to emulate their popularity and charm which received mixed results. | |

Back from the Dead: Defied, Cary had stated multiple times that if a contestant is eliminated, they aren't going to bring them back. Double subverted, if someone is eliminated by mistake, Cary will bring them back. This happened to Jacoub the Person, edtringgaming and Mar View in TWOW 3B, and Meester Tweester in TWOW 4B. | |

Overly Long Gag: In TWOW 18B, Crafty7 uses Tennis Ball to bounce back from the ground and avoid elimination. Throughout the rest of the video, Crafty7 can be seen bouncing on the ground. Eighteen days later, in TWOW 19A, Cary finally ends the gag by using a magnet to attract Tennis Ball's magnet. Crafty7 finally falls through the ground. | |

The Ace | |
| Ten Words of Wisdom (Web Video) / int_b5b4b077 | comment |
The Ace: Cary has mentioned a few. Juhmatok in the early rounds, nicknamed the "Power T.W.O.W.er". Unfortunately, amid cheating accusations with regards to her high performances and some other reasons, she quit in 12A. Tak Ajnin, labelled the "Front-Runner", was eliminated in 19B. Joseph Howard, the first person to top a round twice in a row, got eliminated in 23B, placing 4th. Meester Tweester is the most likely person to win TWOW based on simulation predictions as of 23B, with a 35.50% chance. note Ironically, he was nearly eliminated in TWOW 4A due to a PM glitch. Most if not all of the top 17 are held in rather high regard. | |

Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence: The four gods of TWOW: GreenTree, xxBombs_Awayxx, Riley and some_nerd (The Pi Guy). Subverted when they were eliminated in 17B, 13B, 14B and 15B respectively. OlliKnot also counts, as Spicy changed his book to represent her, then reverted to his original book the episode before he was eliminated. Cary then mocked him after his eimination by saying: | |

Shout-Out: Contestants like referencing BFDI(A) in their responses. Cary also references BFDI(A) with "so" (A thread going through Needle, captioned with the word "sew"), "boible" (Bubble's strange way of pronouncing vowels), and Tennis Ball's magnet. Cary also references Bee Movie in 20B, as a reference to Spicyman33's reading of the Bee Movie Script. | |

Refuge in Audacity | |
| Ten Words of Wisdom (Web Video) / int_d45c0b86 | comment |
Refuge in Audacity: In TWOW 6, Mike Ramsay wrote the lyrics of Ice Ice Baby as his answer, breaking the ten word rule. However, he won the sidekick prize in the previous episode, so he got pulled up to under the top 10. But even if he didn't have a sidekick, he would've been barely safe. Had he got a Double Response Prize before elimination, he would have made his extra response the recipe for vanilla ice cream. | |
