What the Random Words API Does
One endpoint. A random word with its definition and part of speech, ready to use.
Structured output
Every response includes a unique word ID, the word itself, a plain-language definition, and its part of speech — ready to drop into a game, quiz, or test fixture.
{
"id": 512,
"word": "ephemeral",
"definition": "Lasting for a very short time.",
"part_of_speech": "adjective"
}
Simple to integrate
No parameters required. A single GET request returns a new random word and its definition, no request body or query string needed.
