Words implements a fast interface to Wordnet® which provides both a pure ruby and an FFI powered backend over the same easy-to-use API. The FFI backend makes use of Tokyo Cabinet and the FFI interface, rufus-tokyo, to provide cross ruby distribution compatability and blistering speed. The pure ruby interface operates on a special ruby optimised index along with the basic dictionary files provided by WordNet®. I have attempted to provide ease of use in the form of a simple yet powerful api and installation is a sintch!

• Version 0.2 Introduced Pure Ruby Backend
• Version 0.3 Introduced Evocation Support (see examples & below) as developed by the Wordnet® Evocation Project
