I would really appreciate a line break for the definition text. It often runs off the little game box in both directions. I also have questions about the dictionary, some of the definitions are non-typical. Like "nun", it mentions something abut it being the xth number in the alphabet.
Otherwise a very cute concept.

So the definitions are pulled from some API which I don't quite remember but I don't always use the top results to add some variety. And hey, you can actually learn something (interesting) by seeing some of the ones you probably didn't mean yourself.

Yeah, but...it defines "ate" as performing oral sex. Which is...not totally wrong, but....also kind of not right? Maybe a little more curation of which definition gets used is in order.

Also it recognized LNR as a word? (Which it didn't define.) Sometimes the challenge is finding three letters in a row that it won't call a word.

Yeah, that's the drawback of changing to a bigger word dictionary. And the definitions come from a different source so it won't show anything if such isn't found for the word. And it picks a random definition from the available different ones every time.
