Ramen are delicious noodles from Japan, but the word is commonly used in American English, and has been for decades. It's also today's Wordle, and it drove me crazy trying to figure it out.

ramem or ramen?

As far as I can see, ramen is part of the large aspell dictionaries:

It is not part of the smaller dictionaries:

Perhaps it's time it is added to smaller dictionaries, given its use has been steadily growing since 2000: https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=ramen&year_start=1800&year_end=2019&corpus=en-2019

Sorry for the typo. Yes, please add "ramen" to the smaller dictionaries.
