The Merriam Webster dictionary (for Windows PC) is software which fetches a comprehensive thesaurus and provides a portable solution for complex words (vocabulary) and audio pronunciation in the English language with huge lexis available.
Merriam-Webster Dictionary has added 690 new words to the dictionary and a lot of them seem to be borrowed from Gen Z. The renowned dictionary has added a raft of words including "Thirst trap," "chef's kiss," "'grammable" and "beast mode".
Food-related words including chef's kiss, "a gesture of satisfaction or approval made by kissing the fingertips of one hand and then spreading the fingers with an outward motion," zhuzh ("a small improvement, adjustment, or addition that completes the overall look, taste, etc. of something") also made it to the dictionary.
Dictionary.com is a free-to-access online dictionary, with apps available for both iOS and Android phones. You can also create an account at Dictionary.com, (or simply login using facebook), allowing you to save custom word lists to look back at later on.
The Merriam-Webster App (available for Android and iOS) is a free dictionary, much like dictionary.com and its associated apps. There is a free version of the app available which includes many of the features of the paid version.
While everyone uses their phones differently, there are some Android apps that every user should install. These include slick utilities like AirDroid that let you control your phone from a PC, and apps that let you block spam callers. Though not nearly as exciting as other apps, there's another type that's great to have around: a dictionary.
You might think of Dictionary.com as the best dictionary app, but there's another solution worth looking at, too. Let's jump into the latest version of Merriam-Webster's Dictionary app for Android, which lets you take your words offline.
Once you've installed Webster's app, you'll be greeted with a clean interface. The home page holds the word of the day, which is a great way to increase your vocabulary bit by bit. Of course, being a dictionary, you'll probably open the app to look up a specific word.
The actual pages are full of useful info. For most words, you'll find quick definitions as well as full definitions. Webster also includes example sentences, origins, etymology, and spoken pronunciations. Tapping any word on a page will bring you to the dictionary entry for that word.
If you'd like to get social with your dictionary usage, you can use the Share icon present on every word to send it out using any compatible app you have installed. Oddly, Webster's app uses the iOS-style share icon instead of the Android one.
These days, whether from Wi-Fi or mobile data, phones have a network connection most of the time. While accessing your dictionary in a dead zone probably won't be your first priority in an emergency, it's nice to have access to thousands of words in your pocket anytime. This also prevents you from using too much data when you're out and about.
Thankfully, nearly all the app's features work without a connection. Tested in airplane mode, the only items that didn't work were voice typing, word pronunciation, and illustrations on word pages. Other than these restrictions, you have full access to the entire dictionary, and the games work offline too.
The dictionary app on your phone probably won't be your most-used app, but it's still important to keep around. When you think about the amount of information contained in a dictionary, and how large they are physically, it's pretty incredible that you can fit the entire thing into one app. In our testing, the app took up around 282 MB. This isn't huge, but it's another reason why you should avoid buying a tiny 16 GB phone.
Webster's dictionary does include ads (both on-screen and overlaid), but you can remove them by purchasing the Premium edition for $3. This version also includes some extra content, so it's a no-brainer for wordsmiths.
WordWeb usually resides in the Windows' notification area. It can be activated by holding down CTRL and right-clicking a word in almost any program. This opens the WordWeb main window, with definitions. In addition to its dictionary and thesaurus features, it includes:
WordWeb 7 was mainly a content upgrade, with revised definition and sound databases, but also had significantly updated one-click support for the latest browsers and 64-bit programs. Other changes included updated audio pronunciations, improved one-click integration with other programs, better one-click 64-bit and Windows 8 program support, keyboard hotkeys for Bookmark menu items, and auto-detect support for the latest third-party Concise Oxford and Merriam-Webster dictionary add-ons.
The Android version has a slightly different interface of a simpler design than the iOS version. There is also an attractively designed free edition for Windows Phone, though it seems trickier to switch between the dictionary and the thesaurus in that one.
If there is any concern or confusion regarding spelling, hyphenation, or one-word/two-word designation, Merriam Webster's most current "Collegiate" dictionary will be considered the definitive and deciding reference. The CRB is currently using the 11th edition as reference to grade the examination.
What is Merriam-Webster Dictionary? The Merriam-Webster Dictionary app is an iOS app that provides users with access to America's most useful and respected dictionary. The app is optimized for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch, making it a great tool for English language reference, education, and vocabulary building. The app also includes new word games, making it more fun to learn new words and test your vocabulary.
Although you probably know what some of these words above mean, sometimes we only associate a certain feeling with a word, which Merriam-Webster describes in its page on connotation(opens in new window), that gets attached to the word's defined meanings, as detailed in the dictionary's page on denotations(opens in new window), over time.
