Just use xampp to run the app (place it in the htdocs folder); all you need running for this is Apache.
The format of the words needs to be as followed:
man
bear
pig
Upper- or lowercase letters matter not, courtesy of the free dictionary people.
NOTE: REMEMBER! It might stop functioning because too many requests to www.thefreedictionary.com have been made, in which case you have to run it locally so you can visit www.thefreedictionary.com and verify that you're human, at which point the application will function again.
Also, if you don't like it the way it is, or wanted something else: suck it. I did this because I figured it'd be fun to do something new. Helping you out was an extra, not a goal.

Over and beyond, as always. |
