Latest version
Version 1.6.0
Released Oct 8, 2026 - 3.04 MBWorks with firefox 58.0 and later- Replaced the unreachable api.dictionaryapi.dev with Wiktionary as the primary definition source.
- Added freedictionaryapi.com as an automatic fallback if the primary source fails or finds nothing.
- Wrapped API calls in try/catch, so a network failure no longer throws an uncaught error.
- Strip HTML tags from Wiktionary definitions and keep only the main definition line.
- Skip Symbol and Abbreviation entries on Wiktionary, so "run" now returns "To move swiftly."
- URL-encode the word in API requests.
