The Challenge

The goal was to create a dictionary interface that includes:

• A search input for users to look up words
• Display of definitions, parts of speech, and pronunciations
• A clean, responsive layout across devices
• Light and dark theme support

The Solution

The application was implemented using: - HTML for semantic structure - CSS for responsive layouts, design, and theme switching - JavaScript for data fetching, dynamic UI updates, and managing theme state Key implementation details:

• Fetching word definitions from the Free Dictionary API
• Handling user input and search interactions
• Displaying multiple meanings and parts of speech when available
• Managing light/dark theme toggle
• Gracefully handling cases where a word is not found
• Ensuring responsive behavior across desktop, tablet, and mobile screens

The Outcome

The result is a responsive, user-friendly dictionary app that provides detailed word definitions and supports light and dark modes. Through this project, I improved my skills in:

• Working with asynchronous JavaScript and API data
• Manipulating the DOM for dynamic content
• Implementing theme toggling
• Structuring semantic HTML and responsive layouts
• Handling edge cases such as missing or invalid API results
