Find and replace strings in a python dictionary

Question

I have a dictionary that looks like:

d = {'alleged': ['truths', 'fiels', 'fact', 'infidelity', 'incident'],
 'greased': ['axle', 'wheel', 'wheels', 'fields', 'enGine', 'pizza'],
 'plowed': ['fields', 'field', 'field', 'incident', '', '']}

I would like to go over it and replace some items for another strings. The strings to be find and the ones to replace them are also in a dictionary, in which the key is the string to be found and the value is the string to replace it:

d_find_and_replace = {'wheels':'wheel', 'Field': 'field', 'animals':'plants'}

I tried to use a function like:

def replace_all(dic1, dic2):
    for i, j in dic.items():
        dic3 = dic1.replace(i, j)
    return(dic3)

but it won't work because obviously, it uses replace built-in function replace inside it, and it is not possible to use it for dictionaries. Any suggestions on how to do this? Thank you very much for any help.

Edited to correct spelling mistakes.

Try just using direct assignation:

for key in d:
    li = d[key]
    for i,item in enumerate(li):
        li[i] = d_find_and_replace.get(item, item)
