Several entries in graph.json contain odd entries at the end like "[OBS" or "[R"

For example, near the beginning of the file:

"DEFIGURE":[
"TO",
"DELINEATE",
"[OBS",
"]THESE",
"TWO",
"STONES",
"AS",
"THEY",
"ARE",
"HERE",
"DEFIGURED",
"WEEVER"
]

Only "To delineate" makes up the definition of "Defigure", "[OBS" and "]THESE" contain weird characters, and "These two stones as they are here defigured --Weever" is a quotation, not a definition.

Could not find the word tiger, although "tigerish" is present.

the dictionary file gets cut off at ...,"COVARIANT":"A function involving the coefficients and the variables of aquantic, and such that when the quantic is lineally transformed thes which obv. isn't valid JSON

your json should provide the defintions and what type of word it is, adverb, adjective, noun, pronoun, verb... etc.

Maybe JSON should be something like this?

{
  "word": {
    "wordnet": "noun",
    "definitions": ["defo 1", "defo 2"]
  }
}

This is the error I get.

ValueError: Invalid \uXXXX escape: line 1 column 11520 (char 11520)

Removing those I get these type of errors -

Expecting , delimiter: line 1 column 3998 (char 3998)

Try searching in the json, txt or graph file for anythinginjurious as an example. Many spaces fails like that.

The parser does not deal with newlines in the dictionary file correctly. If a line ends in a word, the white space seems to have been trimmed and words will be merged. See below.
