Opening pages at random
The aim of creating shortcuts is to make it possible to simulate the operation of opening pages at random and finding items as in a paper dictionary.
You need to install two iOS/iPadOS apps, "Shortcut" and "Dictionary by Monokakido", and make settings.
- Get headword
- Display headwords and read them aloud
- Hand over headwords to the dictionary app
That is the general flow of the operation set in the shortcut.

Below is the ver2 link that changed the action to get the headword from the HTML element.
This is better in that it can get Japanese readings in hiragana and have them pronounced, works on macOS, and has a shorter waiting time after execution (because the previous action to get the page title was sluggish). We think that it is easy to use.
