Frequently Asked Questions

Is this site free to use?

Yes, completely free. No account needed, no subscriptions.

Where does the data come from?

Definitions come from the Free Dictionary API (dictionaryapi.dev), which is built on Wiktionary data, with the Wiktionary API as a fallback. See the about page for details.

How often is the data updated?

Each word is fetched from the dictionary source when it is first looked up and cached for up to 24 hours (6 hours for fallback entries), so changes made upstream appear here within a day.

Can I use this data for my project?

The data belongs to the original sources. Check their respective terms of service. Our site is for informational purposes.

Do you collect personal data?

No. We do not collect personal information, use tracking cookies, or require accounts.
