App summary

Dictionary is a free offline English dictionary containing over 200,000 words and definitions and no ads. Dictionary is ideal for both native English speakers and English learners or people studying the English language. The dictionary definitions are stored locally, and because it's ad-free there's no need for a network connection. The home page contains a randomly selected word cloud which will pique your curiosity and help you improve your vocabulary, while the search box allows you to find specific words easily.

As you type, Dictionary homes in on the word you are looking for. Then you can follow the links in the definition page to get more word definitions. Wildcard characters can be used to help with word games like crosswords and scrabble where only some of the letters are known, or you have to find an anagram, or with spelling. Definitions include synonyms and antonyms which allows the dictionary to also serve as a thesaurus. The speech function helps provide the correct pronunciation.

User reviews
(2020 installed) Amazing search options using wildcards. I use this app every day (& on my laptop). Excellent if you're not sure how to spell a word and for exploring possibilities (it can generate anagrams) when doing word puzzles. I use it heaps. No ads. (2024: still using it heaps. Excellent app.)

I am using this dictionary happily since last five years. Before there was synonyms and Antonym in definition section, now it doesn't appear anymore in my android phone. What happened? Some update glitch? Please guide. 😉
