Recent reviews

Using for past 5 years and it's best when writing and need wordplay variations. It also uses urban speak so keeping up. It works and maybe slicker more cluttered dictionary but I keep with my comfort and need. Bells, whistles are not me, just a brainiac in need of speller, lookup of language not known. thank you guys super duper okey dokey!

Really cool how it works. I love this extension and would recommend it to other Chrome users as well for 4 reasons. 1. It is very convenient to use and easy to use. All you have to do is highlight the text, right click, and then click Dictionary. 2. It is faster than dictioary.com and thesaurous.com and it can be so useful if you just want a quick definition or synonym for an essay or something. 3. It has 2 different ways to find definitions and synonyms. The first way is easy and convenient for quick definitions and it is where you just highlight the word and right click. But the second way is also just as useful. The second way is if you on extensions and click the dinosaur it will bring a menu for you to search several other dictionaries and related words. 4. The fourth and final reason is that the icon is a cute dino and that is just amazing.
