OHJ or ‘#ohj‘, is a twitter-based hashtag daily word game created by Paul Nadolny. Every day the micropoet provides two words from his twitter feed @OddlyStarry. You create a tweet incorporating one or both words. Make sure you tag the tweet with #OHJ or #ohj, so other players can find it easily.
Originally, OHJ stood for “Oddly Haunted Journey”, because in October 2011, Paul conceived this as a one month game leading up to Halloween. Now the letters mean something different each month, depending on the monthly theme.
