ABOUT US

Wordnik is an online word search, providing information more quickly and completely than traditional dictionaries. Among the information that Wordnik provides are example sentences and related words. The related words functionality goes beyond simply synonyms and antonyms, but also provides words that are associated, but not necessarily replacement words. Wordnik also provides Flickr images for searched words, helping users better understand the meaning. Statistics are also provided, for example users will be provided with an estimated number of times that they may run into their word in a given time period. Audio pronunciation is also provided for users, who may also record their own pronunciation. Lastly, users may also contribute ideas about information that they would like to see on the site.
