Hmm. It's missing a lot of today's words. What is the source dictionary?

@stack I'll have to check on the entries in the db sometime later but I'll let you know. I chose Gutenberg because of the public domain.
do you have a couple examples of words that don't work? I'll add anything that isn't copyrighted.
ah yes, I see... I tried a few words from today's spellbinding. I guess I'll need some additional data sources.
I don’t know what spellbinding is, but I searched for a word (capsule) and got a definition.
This is a nice compliment to the translation dictionary on geminispace I came across some time back. Thanks.
A word of warning: I spent close to a year editing the spellbinding dictionary, and that's without definitions. That's before making the game public. I still spend about an hour a day. It's a never-ending project.
@stack that's fair! I remember you mentioning it before. if you happen across a free dictionary, let me know. I'll be searching around for more.
@IO thanks. spellbinding is a fun word game made by stack

@gritty, a quick suggestion. Make the 'another search' link take you right to the input field. That will save you a click per word when doing multiple searches.
@gritty thank you this is really useful! Truly a great fit for Gemini
Dictionary — I made a dictionary for Gemini. I was thinking this could be useful to link to within Spellbinding. Let me know if you spot errors or something breaks.
