## 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 x402-forgemesh-io-word-associations-api-f09cd262 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Give me up to 20 words that rhyme with 'ocean' — use the rhyme relation (rel_rhy).

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need linguistically related words for creative tasks such as copywriting, poetry, product naming, crossword solving, or word games — especially when rhyme, sound similarity, or adjective association is needed in addition to semantic similarity.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown or misspelled input word returns empty result list
- Invalid relation type defaults to ml or returns an error
- Very obscure words may return fewer than expected results
- Rate limiting or payment failure returns 402 or 429 error

## How this service works

Word association API: get words related to any word — meanings-like (ml), rhymes (rel_rhy), sounds-like (sl), or adjectives-for (rel_jjb) — ranked by association strength, up to 20 results. For copywriting, product naming, poetry, crosswords, and word-game agents. Cached 24 hours.

## Output

A ranked list of up to 20 words related to the input word under the chosen relation type (ml for meaning-like, rel_rhy for rhymes, sl for sounds-like, rel_jjb for adjectives), each scored by association strength. Results are cached for 24 hours.
