You have left out a lot of important details. I guess you mean the Synonym Popover, if enabled in the settings and available in your language, it will show synonyms, once you select a word or right click it and click the button. If there are no synonyms found, it won't show.

The Synonym provider function with free dictionary api stopped working for me about a month ago. I switched to google and it works, although I do not have a right click option to make it appear, only a "Look up" option My language is English. My operating system is Linux. Minimal Theme, Live Preview Same results with the help vault. Video is the help vault. The in doc display is nice, but slow to activate, and as a user I don't know how long I should wait to see if there are synonyms to show at all. I would rather have synonyms along with the definition in the sidebar panel. I can make a separate feature request if you want to consider that option.

I have the same issue. The synonym popup doesn't work unless it is set to Google but the time it takes for the pop up is slow sometimes and only works maybe half the time on some words. I too, agree with @ronrdev, to have the synonyms appear in the sidebar panel along with the definition. The popup seems buggy to me. I'm running MacOS Catalina, language is English (US), Obsidian 0.15.9.

Free Dictionary API not working at all for me but Google working perfectly. Windows 10. No problem though since Google is fine, just the default was set to Free Dictionary API which is the non-functional one so was unable to get the plug-in to work before I read this bug.

The error when trying to use Free Dictionary API is a "connection timed out".
