APIs Used

scrabble.now.sh

https://github.com/codybarr/scrabble-api

Simple serverless function to return valid words from provided scrabble tiles / letters (basically our anagram solver).

wordsapi

https://www.wordsapi.com/

Used to look up dictionary definitions when clicking on word results. Generous results.

wordnik

https://www.wordnik.com/

Wordnik has an amazing collection of dictionary definitions, but their API has some hidden/restrictive limits, so instead of using them for our main dictionary definition lookups, we provide a link to their site if our main dictionary API isn't able to find a word.
