For unknown words, a brief definition will be displayed (from https://dictionaryapi.dev/, showing one or few meanings of the word. For more detailed definitions, use the links to Wiktionary or Google. This will allow you to study the words thoroughly and include them in your vocabulary.
The Database
This database of over 40,000 English words was compiled by modifying some common word lists found on the internet (see: here and here). Although much larger lists are available, they include thousands of very rarely used words and are beyond the scope of this page.
