As the script causing the re-direct is triggered by clicking onto the 'Word a Day' thread, it WOULD suggest that there is malware on the WW site.

I have Avast, Malwarebytes and Windows Defender scan and find nothing to report on my machine, however, it could be a binary: ie innocuous code planted on users machines which fails to trigger any response from AV, and only becomes malicious when a script runs, which is hidden within the link that runs the 'Word a day' thread.
