WordHound service is a supporting service for WordHunter project which provides custom dictionary caching with database support. More details on WordHunter project as follows.

To view the meaning of a specific word, enter the word at the provided endpoint. The WordCache DB is the store for all the words and definitions. WordHound learns new words everytime it is being used.

{
  "word": "hello",
  "definition": "used as a greeting or to begin a telephone conversation."
}

Eg. https://wordhound.niweera.gq/words/find/hello, will give you the dictionary definition of hello even if the word is not present in the WordCache DB:

{
  "word": "hello",
  "definition": "used as a greeting or to begin a telephone conversation."
}
