About Alphabeticall
Our Mission
Alphabeticall is dedicated to making comprehensive dictionary resources freely available to everyone. We believe that language is a fundamental tool for communication, education, and understanding, and access to quality linguistic resources should not be limited by cost or location.
By providing free access to the Wordset Dictionary data through both our web interface and API, we aim to support students, educators, developers, and language enthusiasts worldwide in their pursuit of knowledge and understanding.
