## Description

Dictionary is a free, fully offline English reference with over 250,000 words and exactly zero ads. All definitions are stored locally for fast, private lookups without an internet connection. The home page features a randomly selected word cloud to spark curiosity while the smart search box narrows results as you type and supports wildcard queries for crosswords, scrabble and spelling help.

Definitions include synonyms, antonyms and linked entries so the extension doubles as a thesaurus. Additional features include speech pronunciation, dark/light themes with custom colors, a high-frequency words option, word of the day, favorites and search history — ideal for native speakers, learners, and anyone who wants a lightweight, ad-free vocabulary tool.
