search_words — Search the Jisho.org Japanese<->English dictionary. The keyword can be English (translate to Japanese), Japanese kanji/kana, or romaji. Returns up to `limit` matching dictionary entries, each with the headword (slug), whether it is a common word, JLPT level, all readings/spellings, and English meanings grouped into senses with parts of speech. Use this to translate, look up a kanji/kana word, or find Japanese words for an English concept.
lookup — Look up a single Japanese or English word in the Jisho.org dictionary and return only the single best/first matching entry in a compact form: headword (slug), common-ness, JLPT level, all readings, a flat list of English meanings, and the unique parts of speech. Best for quick "what does this word mean / how is it read" questions. Accepts kanji, kana, romaji, or English.
