What is the best online dictionary?

[JonnyBoy12]

Not sure if this is the area, but would really like to know where the best online dictionary is? I know you can Ask Jeeves what some words mean, but need to know where to find a dictionary on the Internet?

Can any of you help me, and if so then thanks for your replies?

I used www.dictionary.com

[milly143]

Yep, I use that one too.

http://www.thefreedictionary.com/

[MarkRae]

Me too.

www.onelook.com because it links to many other dictionaries. www.wordnik.com is good for puzzles because it has a lot of archaic usages.

you can just use google - just type "define:elephant" [or whatever] and it will give you results from different dictionaries.

Why bother with the internet? TheSage is a fantastic (and totally free) download, which provides a quality dictionary alongside a thesaurus (listing synonyms, antonyms, hypernyms, hyponyms, meronyms and holonyms) which is permanently available on your computer, irrespective of whether you're connected to the internet or not:

The only thing that TheSage lacks is etymologies, but I'm happy to reach for my (print) copy of the Concise Oxford Dictionary when I need those.
