Dictionary
Meanings, parts of speech and examples for English words.
Data from Wiktionary.
What leaves your device
The word you look up, to the SmartTools server — Wiktionary never sees your browser. The word is sent inside the request rather than in its address, so it stays out of the server’s access log. What we keep is the definition of the word, with nothing recorded about who asked for it.
About this page
What it shows
Look up what an English word means, see how it is used as a noun, verb or adjective, and read example sentences. Tap the speaker to hear it read aloud by your device, and share a link that opens straight to the word.
Where the definitions come from
Definitions come from Wiktionary, the free, collaboratively written dictionary run by the Wikimedia Foundation, the organisation behind Wikipedia. Its content is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike, which is why the credit and a link to the full entry appear with every result.
The full Wiktionary entry has much more — pronunciation guides, etymology, translations and related words — so follow the link when you want to go deeper.
Privacy and safety
Only the word you look up is sent. Definitions arrive as formatted web text; SmartTools strips out all formatting and links and shows plain text only. Pronunciation uses your device’s built-in speech voice, so no audio is downloaded.
Questions
Why can’t it find a word I typed?
Try the base form (run instead of running), check the spelling, or look up the phrase without punctuation. Very new slang may not have an entry yet.
Does it cover other languages?
This page shows English definitions. Wiktionary itself describes words from hundreds of languages — follow the link to the full entry.
Why does the pronunciation sound robotic?
It uses the text-to-speech voice installed on your device. Voices vary between phones and computers.
