A few common English words that the API reported as non-words during my recent use

their, every, lives, phase, touch, tight, fewer, doses, flaps, phish

I verified each of these just now by typing them into the "Try it here" box.

No biggie, for what I was working on, but I thought you might like to know.

Thanks again for providing this service.

I just checked the english word list is 'their' is listed, so...something's wrong. Here's my call:

S C:\users\jalcorn> Invoke-WebRequest -Method GET -Uri "https://api.dictionaryapi.dev/api/v2/entries/en/their" Invoke-WebRequest : {"title":"No Definitions Found","message":"Sorry pal, we couldn't find definitions for the word you were looking for.","resolution":"You can try the search again at later time or head to the web instead."} At line:1 char:1

@jbalcorn Yep, That's pretty much what I see for all of the words I listed above.
