The tool on the cover of Word Hacks is a handheld mixer. The first patent for an electric mixer was issued in 1885. Many of the early mixers appeared very industrial, looking more suited for mixing paint than pound cake. By the 1930s, more modern glass-bottomed mixers were produced with a motor built into the lid. By World War II, mixers were mounted on a stand with a bowl underneath. Eventually mixers became smaller and contained entirely in a small plastic case with a handle: the modern handheld mixer. Today's consumer can choose from an assortment of manufacturers' handheld or the the more heavy-duty stand mixers.

Mary Anne Mayo was the production editor, Rachel Wheeler was the copyeditor, and Matt Hutchinson was the proofreader for Word Hacks . Sarah Sherman and Colleen Gorman provided quality control. Mary Agner provided production assistance. Johnna Dinse wrote the index.
