Wordnik


Wordnik is based on the principle that people learn words best by seeing them in context. We've collected more than 4 billion words of text (web pages, books, magazines, newspapers, etc.) and have mined them exhaustively to show you example sentences for any word you're interested in.

At Wordnik, we also believe that some information about a word is always better than no information, so we'll show you whatever we've found, for any word you look up.

At Wordnik, you get:

  • real example sentences to show words in context

  • meaningful information about your word's frequency and use patterns

  • related words—not just synonyms and antonyms, but words that behave in similar ways

  • the chance to contribute to our knowledge of English through recording pronunciations, pointing us towards new words, adding tags and related words, and leaving your notes
