Fetch English dictionary online without having it in the game?

Hi, I'm working on a Word guessing game, and thought having an English (word-meaning) dictionary button would help where it simply fetches the meaning of the current word.

But I just downloaded the dictionary as csv and it's 14MB in size!.. I really don't want to massively increase the APK file size or load times.

I was wondering if there's any easy way I can use an Online script/website instead to send the word and return its meaning? (i.e. without having the dictionary in the game).

Thank you.

You can retrieve it using AJAX object from an online API.

Like this:

api.dictionaryapi.dev/api/v2/entries/en/table

Perfect!! Thank you so much!

That really helped. AJAX and some string slicing did it perfectly!

Thanks again!
