Word Look<\/strong> is a simple yet powerful plugin that enhances user experience by providing instant word definitions.<\/p>\n\n

How it works:<\/strong>\n- Users double-click on any word in your post\/page content.\n- A modal popup appears showing the word\u2019s definition.\n- The definition is fetched in real-time from https:\/\/dictionaryapi.dev<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

Features:<\/strong>\n- Lightweight, fast, and no configuration needed.\n- Clean modal-style popup for definitions.\n- Uses free and open dictionary API (no API key required).\n- Modern and clean CSS\/JS implementation.<\/p>\n\n

Privacy<\/h3>\n\n

This plugin sends the selected word to https:\/\/dictionaryapi.dev<\/a> to fetch its definition. No personal data is collected or stored. The API is free and does not require authentication. Please consult the API\u2019s privacy policy if concerned.<\/p>\n\n

External Services<\/h3>\n\n

This plugin connects to an external dictionary API to retrieve word meanings.<\/p>\n\n

It sends the selected word (as plain text) to the following third-party service:\n- Service Name: Free Dictionary API\n- Service URL: https:\/\/dictionaryapi.dev\/\n- Purpose: To fetch the definition of the word selected by the user.\n- Data Sent: The selected word only, no personal or user-identifying data is sent.\n- When Sent: Each time a user double-clicks on a word in the content area.\n- Terms of Service: https:\/\/github.com\/meetDeveloper\/freeDictionaryAPI#terms-of-use\n- Privacy Policy: https:\/\/github.com\/meetDeveloper\/freeDictionaryAPI#privacy<\/p>\n\n

This API is public and does not require authentication or user registration. No personal or sensitive data is transmitted.<\/p>\n\n\n
