## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability datamuse-homophones-lookup-a7a3e416 -d '<json body>'

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to find homophones of a specific English word — ideal for word games, spelling assistance, NLP pipelines, creative writing, or educational tools where phonetic equivalence matters. Prefer this over a general dictionary or thesaurus API when the specific need is sound-alike words rather than synonyms or definitions.

## Known failure modes

- Missing 'word' query parameter returns an error or empty result
- Word not found in Datamuse database returns an empty array
- Word with no known homophones returns an empty array
- Invalid or non-English input may return no results
- Network or upstream Datamuse API unavailability returns a 5xx error

## How this service works

Words that sound the same as a given word (homophones) (param: word). Query: ?word= Returns JSON.

## Output
