Nevermind, closing this. Appears to be an issue with dictionary.com's WOTD site. https://www.dictionary.com/wordoftheday/

Sent a message over through their contact form. Not sure if it's just a manual process 100% of the time and they've stopped updating it. In the meantime, is there another WOTD source we can use?

Nessworthy commented 6 years ago

https://www.merriam-webster.com/word-of-the-day and http://www.wordthink.com/

Are decent alternatives

I've already created a PR for adding a default message. Tonight, I will also add another PR for using an alternative source in case the main doesn't work for WOTD. I believe https://www.merriam-webster.com/word-of-the-day is good, as @Nessworthy suggested.

@tiffany-taylor @Nessworthy Here is the pr for this https://github.com/Room-11/Jeeves/pull/281

tiffany-taylor commented 6 years ago

Closing as per @mega6382's request, and dictionary.com's fixing their WOTD page.
