Chrome Tab Title

Hello,
You can add the word as title of the current tab.
Thank you

License?

I’m really interested in using this for a new project of mine, but the repository is missing a license. Given this, should I assume that the repository is in the public domain (with the exception of the Atlas Grotesk fonts)?

Feature Request: Use word in a sentence

Would be a cool feature. How can I help?

Feature Request: Pronunciation of word

Might be useful to have an icon that either plays the audio or opens the page from where the word was sourced.

I have zero experience writing javascript unfortunately.
Really like the extension though.
Thanks Lindsay and Natalie

Spelling Mistake in “Epode” definition

There seems to be a mistake in the “Epode” definitions. Should correct “follws” to “follows”.

Error message on all non-new tabs

On any non-new tab there is an error message Uncaught ReferenceError: words is not defined at chrome-extension://gnpnpeephndoppbobdbpigepfdklacbp/js/scripts.js:2
I suppose this is not intended :)
