Scratch needs a built in dictionary
I think for creating hangman games or similar, a built in dictionary would be extremely useful. Basically what would be good is a kind of list that you start a project with, or mabe it could be an extension in scratch 3.0,
So this is just an idea I had, that I think would be good!

That'd make an excellent 3.0 extension.
<dictonary contains [thing] ?>//true
(definition (1 v) of [thing])//a material object without life or consciousness; an inanimate object.
(part of speech of [])//noun
(word tense of [])//singlular
(random [word v])
(random [verb v])
(random [noun v])

No Support. Just create a list of words yourself and randomise them.
EDIT: Semi-Support, I still go by my old explanation, but this does have potential because it would take a long time to copy the whole dictionary.

Yes, in the case where a lot of words are needed - copy a list of words online, put it as one string, detect spaces and separate the words and add them to a list. I agree here. No Support. Just create a list of words yourself and randomise them.

Since not that many people actually need a dictionary, and it should be simple to make the program described above (although I haven't tried to make it), No support.
EDIT: Semi-support, see below

It'd be cool if this dictionary was based on the language setting, so a user using Esperanto would get random Esperanto words, etc. However, this might break when a hangman project only supports the characters from A-Z.
- Sheep_maker This is a kumquat-free signature. :P
This is my signature. It appears below all my posts. Discuss it on my profile, not the forums. Here's how to make your own.
.postsignature { overflow: auto; } .scratchblocks { overflow-x: auto; overflow-y: hidden; }

well i was thinking of a dictionary with millions of words, maybe like the oxford dictionary
yeah! I think this would be cool, but with lots more settings like: That'd make an excellent 3.0 extension.<dictonary contains [thing] ?>//true
(definition (1 v) of [thing])//a material object without life or consciousness; an inanimate object.
(part of speech of [])//noun
(word tense of [])//singlular
(random [word v])
(random [verb v])
(random [noun v])
(random [pronoun v])

No support, it's too hard to make other languages' dictionaries for ST

Yes. I just didn't feel like writing them all. well i was thinking of a dictionary with millions of words, maybe like the oxford dictionaryyeah! I think this would be cool, but with lots more settings like: That'd make an excellent 3.0 extension.<dictonary contains [thing] ?>//true

(random [word v])
(random [verb v])
(random [noun v])(random [pronoun v])
Edit: Although I do support this, It would be difficult for the scratch team to get a filtered dictionary that follows the CGs.

Interestingly, if this was generalized this could just be a part of a list grouping. But English doesn't really have an easy way to distinguish between parts of speech, so now I semi-support. That'd make an excellent 3.0 extension.<dictonary contains [thing] ?>//true
(definition (1 v) of [thing])//a material object without life or consciousness; an inanimate object.
(part of speech of [])//noun
(word tense of [])//singlular

yeah, I think the scratch team should remove bad words, but that might take a while, and with scratch 3.0 they might be too busy, but there might be some time!Yes.

This could also be used for whitelisting text whenever it needs to be filtered without needing to create a massive list of words, so support.
when this signature read :: events hat
if <I know what [kumquats] are :: sensing> then //false
have (Katty :: pen) [eat v] [nearby kumquats v] :: motion // Katty eats the kumquats for me, whatever they are
else
learn what [kumquats] are :: sensing // this block must be malfunctional
