Dicto - Dictionary Lookup Skill
Dicto is a skill for looking up English word definitions using the free DictionaryAPI (https://dictionaryapi.dev/). It returns detailed definitions, parts of speech, example usages, and a fallback Google link for further lookup.

Features
Look up definitions of English words
Part of speech identification (e.g., noun, verb)
Example usages when available
Fallback to Google definition search if no definitions are found

How It Works
When a user inputs a word (e.g., run), Dicto performs a search for said word and provides the user with relevant information relating to searched word

User: run
Dicto: Looking up "run"
Definition: To move swiftly on foot.
Verb: To run.
Noun: An act or instance of running. (Example: I went for a quick run this morning.)
Noun: A trip or errand. (Example: I'm making a run to the store.

If the word is not found or an error occurs, Dicto informs the user and provides a Google search link as an alternative.

User: htftya
Dicto: Sorry, we couldn't find a definition for "htftya" in en.
