bug P3 release: universe

Owlbot is a disaster:

they miss a lot of really common words
they have bot detection and show a captcha page randomly (on an API???)
they have no point of contact on their website

In the past we have used Wordsapi from RapidAPI, as well as the Oxford dictionary APIs. It's probably worth going back to one of those.
