The project combines old-school JavaScript with new-school serverless function options, leveraging the WordsAPI to provide a comprehensive word information app. It utilizes Bootstrap for styling and jQuery for dynamic functionality. The serverless function is built using AWS Lambda and deployed via Netlify. The application allows users to input words and retrieve related information such as definitions, synonyms, examples, and parts of speech. The front-end code dynamically formats the response data to display it in a user-friendly manner.
