The Best Online Dictionaries



English language dictionaries

OneLook® Dictionaries
OneLook® Dictionary will provide links to dictionary webpages that include the word you seek.  You can select different languages.
Tip: Adding wild cards expands the search (* = any number of characters, ? = exactly one character). For example, "tomo*ow", "tomo??ow" or "tomo*" will find "tomorrow".
Note: If an exact match is not found, then a partial match may be found (a wildcard in your search pattern blocks this feature).
