Built for [High Seas 2024-2025](https://highseas.hackclub.com/) by [Hack Club](https://hackclub.com/). ![Wakatime](https://img.shields.io/endpoint?url=https://waka.hackclub.com/api/compat/shields/v1/U078EKGQW2H/interval:all_time/project:simple-dictionary\u0026label=simple-dictionary\u0026color=white)\n\nThe app is hosted on [Vercel](https://vercel.com/) and can be accessed at:\n[https://simple-dictionary-mu.vercel.app/](https://simple-dictionary-mu.vercel.app/)\n\u003e An optional `/?w=\\\u003cword\\\u003e` query parameter can be used to pre-fill the search bar with a word.\n\n![Usage gif failed to load](./.github/usage.gif)\n\n### Lighthouse Scores\n\n| Category       | Score                  |\n|----------------|------------------------|\n| Performance    | **100**                |\n| Accessibility  | **100** *(dark mode)* / **96** *(light mode)* |\n| Best Practices | **100**                |\n| SEO            | **100**                |\n\n### Disclaimer!\nNot all information is guaranteed to be accurate! Please verify the information from a reliable source before using it for any important purposes. Although the information is sourced from reliable sources, data parsing and processing may lead to inaccuracies.\n\n## Quick Features\n- **Fast Autocomplete**: Quick autocomplete suggestions are provided using over 500 thousand words in separated text files for fast and accurate search results.\n- **Dark Mode**: Dark mode can be toggled in the top right corner.\n- **Random Word**: A random word can be generated by clicking the dice icon.\n- **Easy Navigation**: The UI is designed to be simple and easy to use with a clean interface.\n- **Information Dense**: As much information as possible is provided for each word, while still maintaining a clean and simple design.\n\n##### Simple Dictionary has not been tested on mobile devices and may not work as intended.

Generating autocomplete suggestions within a fraction of a millisecond. (see image below)\n\n\u003cimg src=\"./.github/trie.png\" alt=\"Trie Autocomplete\" height=\"200\"\u003e\n\nLevenshtein distance is used to provide suggestions for words where the user might have made a typo. Levenshtein distance is slower, but provides more accurate suggestions in cases where the user has made a typo. (see image below)\n\n\u003cimg src=\"./.github/levenshtein.png\" alt=\"Levenshtein Autocomplete\" height=\"200\"\u003e\n\nNote that the performance of the autocomplete feature might be hindered by the hosting service.
