DICTIONARIES.md

Dictionaries used and not used by Diffle.

Currently utilized dictionaries by diffle-lang are included in /resources/[lang]/[dictionaryDir].

Each directory features 🧾 LICENSE, 🧾 README.md, and 🧾 dictionary.txt with a wordlist. The dictionaries I consider the best are there. If you simply want to grab a dictionary go to there (the source is worth checking because they may have updated the dictionary, license, or have added new words).

I am very grateful to all the creators of open online dictionaries. Your help is invaluable. 💗

Open-source dictionaries

📔 - Spellchecker: the broadest dictionary, with the goal of encompassing as many words as possible and ensuring their accuracy. However, some inappropriate words may be incorrectly recognized.

🎯 - Winning Dictionary: a more concise selection, significantly smaller. Words that align with the spellchecker dictionary should function exceptionally well as winning choices in a spelling game (no weird endings).

🃏 - No license: Rejected because it doesn't have a license.

📄 - Too little: Rejected because it is too tiny.

German 🇩🇪

The current German spellchecker is based on words from Wikipedia articles (likely gathered before 2018). It works okay, but the words may be too specific.
