Fails on the word "sappy"

I use CPython version 3.9.10.
I get the following stack trace when running cambd sappy:

Implement a basic caching mechanism

related to #5

Bug: cache stores misspelt word instead of the the user picked suggested word

This results in a bug where looking up the same misspelt word gives the definition of the related word that was selected initially.

Add flag to show all definitions

Currently, it shows only two definitions per word by default. We want to add a flag that will show the rest of the definitions.

Reponse time is bit high

The average response time is: 2.01s

Show more definitions

It's only showing the first info on the site. If you look at https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/stick you will see about 10 definitions.

And this is the cli output:

stick (noun)
A thin piece of wood or other material.

Examples:
• The old man was carrying a load of sticks.
• Police said that the child had been beaten with a stick.
