WordTorch

Data Sources

WordTorch uses local word lists for puzzle tools and static WordNet-based data for some word detail drawers.

Word detail data

Some WordTorch definitions, synonyms, antonyms, and example sentences come from Princeton WordNet. WordNet is a lexical database, which means it groups word meanings and related words.

WordNet may not cover every word shown by the word-game tools. If a word has no detail data, WordTorch shows a simple fallback message instead.

WordNet license

Dictionary word lists

The word-game tools use local dictionary files built from properly licensed npm packages. These lists help power searches such as unscrambling, Wordle-style filtering, crossword patterns, and Scrabble-style scoring.
