Embeddable Widgets

Add The Word Index to your own site with two small iframe widgets: a daily word card and a mini search box. Copy a snippet below, paste it into your page's HTML, and the widget renders with attribution back to this site. You can also install The Word Index as an app on this device.

Daily word card

A compact card with one word per day, its part of speech, and a reviewed definition gloss. The pick is deterministic for a given date and data release: it is drawn from the same editorially reviewed word set as our Word of the Day (build-specific groupings, never universal usage claims) and excludes words on the content policy list. Until reviewed words are available in this release, the card shows a friendly empty state.

Mini search box

A small search field that suggests words from the compiled lexicon as you type. Selecting a suggestion opens the matching page on The Word Index in the visitor's full window.

Install as an app

The Word Index works as an installable web app: pages you have visited keep working offline, and tools open in their own window. When your browser supports installation, a button appears below.

No install button? Your browser may not support web-app installation, or the app may already be installed. Most Chromium-based browsers also offer “Install app” from the browser menu.

Embedding notes

  • Keep the attribution link that each widget renders; it is part of the widget contract.
  • Both widgets accept a theme query parameter: auto (follows the visitor's colour-scheme preference), light, or dark.
  • The previews on this page and the supplied snippets work on HTTPS sites. The widget pages are the only public pages allowed to be framed; the catalog and the rest of The Word Index remain same-origin only.
  • Widget content comes from the versioned lexical data release (v1/2026.07-lexical.6); the data catalogue identifies sources, licences, and limitations.
