Hi Tony,
We ran the call twice, first using the default count and then a count
of 25.
- What is the sort order of the response? Can we specify the sort
order? (e.g. most frequently occurring synonym? )
- And here's a weird result: When we use the default count,
"houndfish" is the first synonym. "houndfish" is not on the Wordnik
site as a synonym for "hound". Why would the API return a synonym
that is not on the main site? It looks like you are pulling your
synonyms from Allen's in this case.
Kindly advise,
Michelle
