Frequently Asked Questions
How do I look up a word's definition?
Type a word and the dictionary shows its meanings, part of speech, phonetic spelling and example sentences. Many entries also include synonyms and antonyms to broaden your vocabulary.
Can I hear how a word is pronounced?
Yes, when audio is available. Entries include phonetic transcription and, for many words, an audio clip so you can hear the correct pronunciation.
Is this dictionary free to use?
Yes. It is completely free with no sign-up, and it draws definitions from the Free Dictionary API, a community-maintained open dictionary.
Is my search private?
The tool itself runs in your browser, but to fetch definitions the word you search is sent to the Free Dictionary API (api.dictionaryapi.dev). Only the single word is sent — no other text or personal data.
