Based on this project, I created a new and more lexical API. You can check freedictionaryapi

@ngocsangyem How is your project based on this one? Do you have the code for parsing wiktionary?

Your API has more words, but it's extremely slow. Would love to be able to run locally. Thanks!

Hi @mgiuffrida, I use wiktextract to parse wiktionary. It would be very nice if you share your project also.

I'm bumping this because I would really like to see words like is, be, for, and other words that you can't avoid regularly using because they're fundamental to English.

I was looking at this file trying to understand why it cant find entries like this on wiktionary https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/be

I was assuming that it finds all the words there, but it seems like its actually just searching Google. https://github.com/meetDeveloper/freeDictionaryAPI/blob/4f274a853dd7a352aa2a349d1b92624ff18a36a8/modules/dictionary.js#L138

If someone has an idea why its not finding these types of words, maybe we could figure out a solution.
