Thank you for your feedback! Yes, that is an issue that I've heard many times. I've tried to solve it many different ways.

The issue is that the definition has to be readable while also conveying that the words are clickable without just adding a comment that says all these words are clickable.

I found that making some of the words look like buttons often conveys that those words are clickable and as you accidentally hover over other words, you detect that all of them are clickable.

Any ideas on how to solve this issue are greatly appreciated! If you would ever like to chat about this, please let me know. Hope that you have a great day!
