This word dictionary looks up definitions, parts of speech, and usage examples for any English word you type, free and with no sign-up.
About This Dictionary
Type any English word to see its full definition, phonetic pronunciation, grammatical category and example sentences. Click any synonym in the results to look that word up in turn. It's designed for writers, students, and word game players who need quick lookups. Use it alongside the Word Generator to explore new words, or the synonym generator to find alternatives for any word.
Definitions and examples come from WordNet, Princeton University, and ship with this page — so lookups work even if an outside service is down. Phonetic spellings and pronunciation audio, when shown, come from the Free Dictionary API (Wiktionary, CC BY-SA 3.0).
