Top 100 Most Common Terms of Endearment

Wednesday, September 16, 2026

A past Centumth puzzle. Play it on this page with five guesses, or read the full Top 100 ranking below.

Babe dethroned Honey, and if you still lead with Honey there’s a decent chance you also own a landline. Ranked from YouGov’s 2025 poll of 25,000 Americans — which pet name they use most — then the next English classics and the ones that actually get said around the world. Type the word. Babe, Baby and Bae are three different guesses. Hun counts as Honey.

This list was researched and ranked by hand for Centumth. Entries near #1 are the names almost everyone thinks of first. Entries near #100 are true, a little obscure, and still fair if you think sideways. Sources below are the starting point — the final order can include small editorial calls so the daily puzzle stays balanced.

You can play this archive puzzle with five guesses, or reveal the complete ranking if you came here looking for the list. Revealing locks this puzzle — you won’t be able to play it afterward.
