WordWeb 5.01
Love this app!Thousands of new words, homonyms, full text search, powerful word finding, and more.
WordWeb Pro is a quick and powerful international English thesaurus and dictionary for Windows. It can be used to lookup words from almost any Windows program, showing definitions, synonyms and related words. There are also many proper nouns and usage examples. You can search for words matching a pattern, find and solve anagrams, and optionally search a large number of extra word lists.
Unlike any paper dictionary or thesaurus WordWeb is truly a Word Web
- each set of synonyms is linked to other related sets. Lookup “tree”,
click on the “Types” tab and you’ll have a list of different types of
tree. Click on “Part of” and WordWeb will tell you that a tree can be
part of a “forest” or “wood”.
Unlike any online dictionary, WordWeb allows you to dynamically filter
words to find what you want. For example clicking on a sense number shows
only synonyms and related words for that word sense. Clicking on the
“Noun” button filters the synonyms to show you only noun senses, and
double clicking on any word takes you immediately to its definition. It
will also suggest the correct form for many common misspellings.
