Dictionary.com: Writing Tool

in General Writing

Last time, I asked if you have any favourite writing tools. So, I thought I’d slowly start sharing some of my own.

One of my favourite writing tools online is Dictionary.com. It’s a great reference tool that provides not just an online dictionary, but also links to a thesaurus, word-of-the-day, encyclopedia, and other references.

It’s handy for looking up meanings of words, synonyms, antonyms, and other things that are related to words.

I like Dictionary.com and affiliated sites too! Much prefer it over Answers.com.

Hsien: Oh, absolutely. :-) I definitely find it a lot more useful.

Try Wordweb as well! You don’t have to go to a website to get the definitions you need.
