ONELOOK DICTIONARIES

OneLook Dictionary Search provides a list of links to a set of online dictionaries and encyclopaedias which contain definitions for the word you are looking up. It also allows to search for words and phrases that start or end with a particular word or morpheme; words that have a meaning related to a concept, etc.

OneLook Reverse Dictionary can be useful on these occasions when we feel that we have a word in the tip of our tongue but cannot retrieve it from memory. It works in this way: you try to describe a concept by typing key words, a question, a sentence... and get back a list of words and phrases related to that concept.
