Frequently Asked Questions
What dictionary data does this use?
Definitions come from the Free Dictionary API (dictionaryapi.dev), sourced from Wiktionary. It covers tens of thousands of English words with definitions, phonetics, synonyms, antonyms, and example sentences.
Can I hear the pronunciation?
Yes — on each word page, an audio play button appears next to the phonetic transcription when audio is available.
Why does a word show no results?
Very new slang, proper nouns, abbreviations, or highly specialised terms may not be in the database. Try the base form (e.g. "run" instead of "running").
Are synonyms and antonyms included?
Yes — where the source data includes them, synonyms and antonyms are shown for each definition. You can click any of them to look that word up instantly.
Is this dictionary free?
Completely free — no account, no sign-up, no usage limits.
