There was no free Dictionary API on the web when I wanted one for my friend, so I created one.

How could we get a random word from this dictionary? #131

So far, I have been using this random word api (https://random-word-api.herokuapp.com/word) to query this dictionary api, but it has a lot of words that don't appear in this dictionary. image

Is there a way I can get a random word for this dictionary?

FYI - The underlying implementation now uses Wiktionary. That list was created before the migration.
