This project was very tricky, but very rewarding. I had to work a lot with the API to extract each piece of the results to display in a user-friendly way. Picking apart the definitions, the phonetics, the examples and sorting each to be diisplayed in groups of adjectives, nouns, and verbs. I also learned how to work with the photo API (Unsplash) to display photo examples as well, all being triggered by the user's search.

Working with React again was great to get a more advanced understanding of how it works, but also what React can be capable of. The practice of building components inside components was daunting at first but I quickly realized the power and effeciency of doing it this way. Now I could not imagine building this without React.
