Hey, friends today we will see how to make this super interesting dictionary app. The demo video is at the bottom of the page.
Now first let's see the general method to use this project. When the page is loaded, you can enter any word and if it's available, the definition will pop-up. Sometimes, an example sentence would come too.

Now let's see the source codes:

HTML Codes

```
<div class="wrapper">
<header>English Dictionary</header>
<div class="search">
<input type="text" placeholder="Search a word" required spellcheck="false">
          <i class="fas fa-search"></i>
          <span class="material-icons">close</span>
        </div>
        <p class="info-text">Type any existing word and press enter to get meaning, example, synonyms, etc.</p>
        <ul>
          <li class="word">
            <div class="details">
              <p>__</p>
              <span>_ _</span>
            </div>
            <i class="fas fa-volume-up"></i>
          </li>
          <div class="content">
