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).
