How many words does the dictionary cover?
Our dictionary API covers over 150,000 English words including common vocabulary, technical terms, and specialized jargon. We continuously update our database with new words and meanings.
Do you provide pronunciation data?
Yes, we provide IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) pronunciation for words. This is perfect for text-to-speech applications, language learning tools, and accessibility features.
Can I get multiple definitions for a word?
Absolutely. Many words have multiple meanings across different parts of speech. Our API returns all definitions with their respective parts of speech (noun, verb, adjective, etc.).
Is etymology included in the response?
Yes, we include word etymology (origin and historical development) where available. This is valuable for educational applications and linguistic research.
Do you support languages other than English?
Currently, our Dictionary API focuses on English. We plan to add support for additional languages in the future. Contact us if you have specific language requirements.
What if a word is not found?
If a word is not in our dictionary, the API returns a clear response indicating the word was not found. You can use our Spellcheck API to suggest corrections for misspelled words.
Is this suitable for word games?
Yes! Our dictionary is perfect for word games like Scrabble or Wordle clones. You can validate words and show definitions. Use our Random Word API to generate game words.
How current is the dictionary data?
