I’m afraid Twitter changed how the widget works on their end, so our widget no longer works. We found out about this only recently when Twitter announced the change, so it will be a while before we can fix our own widget to work with Twitters’s new code.
For now, you can still get a widget ID that should work in our widget if you create a Search widget in Twitter. Set the search widget to your @username, and use the ID generated there in the Twitter Timeline Widget on your site. It doesn’t work perfectly, but it’s the closest solution that we have for now.
Please let me know if you have any questions about this.

I found a workaround for twitter list widgets;
1. On Twitter, go to Settings.
2. Click on Widgets
3. Click on “Create New” and select “Search” from the dropdown
4. In the “Search Query” write “list:@yourusername/your-list-name
5. On preview, grab the Widget ID from the address bar and add to the Twitter Timeline widget in your WordPress.com site in the space for Widget ID. Click Save
6. Click “Save Changes” on Twitter to save your Twitter Widget.This worked for me.
