I downloaded and installed the WordNet app.

How would I use the WordNet library to access its dictionary entries?

Would I need to import those WordNet libraries first before using them?

    the current version of wordnet, is a python project and is only the database files (in yaml format) that can be converted to other formats:

    here is a current open source python library:

    here is an 20 year old implementation for C# that probably uses the old format files (I assume you are using the 20 year old windows app):
