Can you please make the definitions child safe?

Ex 1: Definition of alphabet "F" has fuck in it. https://api.dictionaryapi.dev/api/v2/entries/en/f { "definition": "Fuck", "synonyms": [], "antonyms": [], "example": "What the f do you think you're doing?" }

Ex 2: Definition of alphabet "J" has joint and mention of marijuana. https://api.dictionaryapi.dev/api/v2/entries/en/j

"definitions": [{
  "definition": "A term for a marijuana cigarette ('joint').",
  "synonyms": [],
  "antonyms": []
}

Perhaps a workaround for your specific case would require a filter with a list such as this one to filter out profane definitions and words. Personally, I don't believe there should be censorship in the API itself, but that's for the creator to decide.
