Scout,
Thanks for reporting - my tests were OK, I used the word "world".
The problems is that there is no definition of the API Json returned, so I just assumed the format would be similar for different words - unfortunately not. It's hard to write a reader of a syntax that changes with no proper definition or API. I will have a look at this example and see what is returned from the call and what in the Json may be different.
We can see the returned Json with a direct call to a browser:
https://api.dictionaryapi.dev/api/v2/entries/uk/date
The issue then seems apparent!
To turn off erro rmessages, you can use LDUtilities.ShowErrors = "False" (not implemented in LDBasic).
Of the other suggestions I would go for the Wordnik one after looking at the complexity/restrictions of the ones listed. Of course you can get your own free API key and use LDNetwork.SendWebRequest and parse the result - maybe a fun challenge in itself. But if LDDictrionary is something that is important for some existing users then I will research more test Wordnik.
