Dictionary.com is better
GonzaloPas

It just is. This dictionary didn’t have a word dictionary.com did. Therefore it’s better. Also less ads


pun.. or a word a day?.
knosie rosie

two years ago a friend had her sister give her a puzzle that every day was a different pun. Each morning will call and she will tell me the pod it was fine but then they got really pretty bad. I told her I would take up the gauntlet for the next year and I would give her the word of the day. This has been a wonderful year having a new word each day


Can’t Search
smartalexi33

Whenever I try to find the meaning of a word, the search always says error. I have updated, disconnected and connected to wifi, used data; it doesn’t matter. The word of the day feature is awesome, but yeah if I can’t search up a word, what is the point of the app


Love It
