The intelligent word entry suggests possible correct spellings as you type, as well as listing words that sound the same or are often confused. In addition there's a fast pattern-matching word search feature, great for crossword puzzles and finding that word or phrase you've forgotten.

Search features include:

- Alphabetical listing
- Spelling suggestions
- Sounds-like and often-confused
- Fast pattern-matching search (*, ?, vowel and consonant)
- Filter search results by noun, verb, adjective, adverbs

No Internet connection is required to use WordWeb (unlike audio in dictionary.com). A smaller version without audio is also available - search iTunes for WordWeb.

[If the sound is off on your iPad check the toggle switch on the side (not the volume switch, the other one). On a phone make sure you have your ringer turned on and the volume turned up.]

Best use of the technology of any dictionary

This dictionary makes better use of the ipad/iPhone capabilities than any other dictionary I have used (note that there are several other dictionaries that use this same engine with different content). This is the only one that passes the sole/soul test - it really does have a sounds like fuzzy search. It also lets you use wild cards in the search and you can limit the search to just nouns for example. It has good cross references to other similar or opposite words. It works well on the iphone and the iPad. It has useful options in the settings menu. It has cross references to external sites.

The dictionary engine is the best but the content is not as good as many of the established major publishers of paper dictionaries. It doesn't have word origins or usage notes.

The best dictionary app ever

I’ve been using variations of this developer’s dictionary apps for many years, even in the pre-iPhone days when it was only available as a n old-school PC app… It’s the best dictionary app I’ve ever found. The interface is simple and intuitive but also very powerful. The way all of the words are interlinked is terrific, as is the app’s ability to cross-reference other dictionary apps and online sources (including the option to add custom reference look-up sources).

The audio-pronunciation options and definitions are also solid, the dictionary database itself has a ton of words, and the app conveniently keeps a (clearable) log of all the words you’ve looked up.

I recommend purchasing the paid version of this app (although the free version is great too) along with the other dictionary apps the developer has worked on (for even closer cross-reference integration) if any of those are still available (Chambers and Oxford dictionaries and thesauruses were among the previous options) if you have much need for looking up words at all, as this developer is the longtime maestro of creating easy to use, uncluttered, fast-performing dictionary apps.

Need some work

Ejaculation: this is the second definition of ejaculation in your WordWebUS dictionary and it reads:
“The discharge of semen in males”.

It could read:
1. (Males discharge of semen
2. the discharge of semen by males
3. discharging of semen by males of the Species.
—-It should be rewritten because like me there are other males that don’t discharge our/their semen in other males.

That is the reason why Elohim made males and females of the species, for the two of them, male and female to come together to make (discharge of semen and the semen reaches the egg and a miracle take place)more of their kind(species)!!!
