How can I get all the words in this dictionary api?
The words themselves are in their github project at https://github.com/meetDeveloper/freeDictionaryAPI/tree/master/meta/wordList (in "english.txt"), but I don't see where they're keeping the definitions and other information. I'm guessing (almost sure) there's a free dictionary site they're using, but haven't found it yet.
Looks like the data file they're using is in their GitHub repo.
