## 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-spelled-like-word-lookup-fc2bbda3 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What words match the spelling pattern 'c?t' where ? stands for any single letter? Use a wildcard word lookup to find all matches.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to find words matching a specific spelling pattern with known and unknown character positions, such as for crossword solving, word games, spelling tools, or autocomplete features where partial word structure is known.

## Known failure modes

- Missing 'word' query parameter returns error or empty result
- Invalid wildcard syntax may return no matches
- Very broad wildcard patterns (e.g. *) may return truncated or large result sets
- Network or upstream Datamuse API unavailability
- Payment failure via x402 protocol returns 402 before results are delivered
