What this English dictionary covers

This is Merriam-Webster's English dictionary for Android. It is aimed at English learners, students and anyone building vocabulary. Its core job is looking up a word and reading its meaning and synonyms.

The developer says the entries are kept current with newly added words and meanings. The word games are a separate, newer addition for testing vocabulary.

Offline dictionary and thesaurus lookup

Definitions and synonyms stay available when the device has no connection. This covers the main reference content, so lookups do not depend on signal.

Illustrations, audio pronunciations and voice search do need an internet connection. Without one, those features will not work.

Audio pronunciation, illustrations and voice search

Audio pronunciations let you hear how a word is said. Illustrations add pictures to some entries, which helps with words that are easier to see than to define.

Voice search lets you speak a word instead of typing it. Like the audio and pictures, it requires a connection.

Vocabulary word games

The app includes word games meant to help people learn new words and test what they already know. The developer says they suit English learners and people who simply enjoy vocabulary.

The games sit alongside the dictionary, so a player can check a meaning in the reference content after a round.

Ads and the subscription that removes them

The app is free and supported by ads. A subscription is available that removes them.

Subscribing is optional. Everything else in the app is reachable on the free tier, with ads shown while you use it.
