Hi Lilt. Capitalization matters on Wordnik. You'll notice all the Examples and Tweets on this page have Sinecure with a capital S. The word sinecure has a full page of information when written in lowercase.
Case-sensitive words are called capitonyms. Polish vs polish, March vs march, I vs i.
Happy word searching!
