An update of 455 new words

Does anybody know if MW or another company offers things like:

Direct access to raw word lists

Access to tagged word lists (e.g. words about geology; words that are socially not offensive)

API for results like newest word, next word, nearest word, definition, etymology, etc.

Paid is ok...Thanks!

Have you heard of wordnik? It came up a lot while I was trying to fish out examples of how painful it is to query wiktionary.

I had this handy CLI alias which worked before wordnik went over to https.

    alias -g define='BROWSER=w3m ddgr \!wordnik '

Usage $ define annoyed :-)
