Diccionario de la lengua española

The Diccionario de la lengua española (DLE) is the reference for what a Spanish word means and how it is spelled, and the Real Academia Española publishes it free at dle.rae.es. This bot brings it into Telegram. It is not the Academy's: it was built by Michel Romero Rodríguez, a developer based in Argentina, who says in the bot itself that he only proposed the idea to the RAE, and the code is public on GitHub.

There are two ways to use it. In its chat, send a correctly spelled word, accents included, and it replies with the entry: numbered senses with the dictionary's abbreviations and, since the August 2026 update, examples, synonyms and antonyms for each sense. If you misspelled the word, editing the message is enough for the bot to answer again. When nothing matches, it lists similar entries and offers a button to search dle.rae.es. In any other chat, type @dlebot and the first letters of a word: suggestions appear as you type, which helps when you only remember how a word begins.

A keyboard button sends a random word, and a setting switches between the new rich format and the classic, more compact one for older Telegram apps. Everything, commands included, is in Spanish; news goes to the channel @dleraebotchannel.
