• Ability to enter a dictionary term, via form page
• Ability to retrieve the corresponding definition for the term entered
• Ability to maintain a list of the last 5 terms searched
• Ability to handle exception errors, gracefully
• Ability to log such exceptions to assist in troubleshooting

• Protect the params from the forms
• Use a service object to handle out API calls
• Try to DRY up the controller as much as possible, to keep the code readable
• Allow for easy implementation of additional dictionaries
• Log exceptions in a better manner, they have been moved from the WordController. Will need to see how to get the logger working properly. Error handling is unaffected on client side.
