Word Lexicon Analyzer

Overview

Pass any target string to the endpoint to evaluate its letter arrangement, repetition, and dictionary status. The response computes alphabetical letter order, verifies if an anagram can form a palindrome, and flags words with no repeating letters. It also checks whether the word is playable in Scrabble and assesses rare letters for pangrams.

Endpoint

One host, one path per API. The block below shows this call in four languages; every one of them is the same HTTP request. Making requests covers the timeouts, retries and parameter rules that apply to all of them. The SDKs wrap the same call in a typed client.

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"io"
	"net/http"
)

func main() {
	req, _ := http.NewRequest("GET", "https://api.apiverve.com/v1/lexicon?word=listen", nil)
	req.Header.Set("x-api-key", "your_api_key_here")

	res, err := http.DefaultClient.Do(req)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	defer res.Body.Close()

	out, _ := io.ReadAll(res.Body)
	fmt.Println(string(out))
}

Replace your_api_key_here with the key from your dashboard. When the inputs arrive as a list rather than one at a time, batch requests run up to 200 of them through this same API in a single call.

Authentication

Send your key in the x-api-key header. That is the only auth step — there is no token exchange and no per-endpoint scope to configure. Authentication covers creating, rotating and revoking keys.

Parameters

Sent in the query string. Premium parameters are accepted on every plan but only take effect on plans that include them.

Response

Every API returns the same three top-level keys, so one response handler covers your whole integration: status, error and data. Only data changes shape. Response format covers the envelope, the other output formats and how premium fields are withheld.

{
  "status": "ok",
  "error": null,
  "data": {
    "word": "listen",
    "isAlphagram": false,
    "sortedForm": "eilnst",
    "isPalindrome": false,
    "hasAnagram": false,
    "isIsogram": true,
    "isPangramCandidate": false,
    "isScrabbleValid": true,
    "canBePalindromeAnagram": false
  }
}

Response fields

Paths are relative to data. Premium fields are absent rather than zeroed on plans that do not include them, so check for presence instead of comparing to 0.

Errors

Read the HTTP status first, then error for the specific reason. The body names the parameter that has to change. Error handling covers the full status list and which of them are worth retrying.

Use cases

Word Game Validation

Puzzle game backends verify player submissions against Scrabble eligibility and immediately flag valid palindromes for bonus scoring.

Anagram Puzzle Generation

Crossword and puzzle constructors use sorted letter forms to group matching anagrams and test word rearrangements for hidden riddles.

Vocabulary Drill Generation

Language learning platforms detect isograms and alphagrams to build spelling exercises focused on words with non-repeating letters.

Pangram Challenge Construction

To build daily pangram challenges, editorial teams filter candidate lists to find terms that supply rare and uncommon letters.
