Ultimate Dictionary
Ultimate Dictionary is a free dictionary program for Windows that is easy to install and use. It contains a collection of around 61 dictionaries, which includes dictionaries, thesauruses, and glossaries, as well as English, Spanish, French, and Polish word references. When you type a word into the search box Ultimate Dictionary, it looks for it in all the dictionaries it contains at once and provides a meaning from each dictionary in which the word was found in the right pane. The results start to display as you type the word with hints provided for matching words. Quickly jump from one information source to another (translations, encyclopedia entries, glossaries) simply by clicking the Jump to Dictionary button and selecting a reference source from the list on the left.
WordWeb
WordWeb is a free dictionary program for Windows that provides a dictionary and a thesaurus. Each word is accompanied by synonyms, and where available antonyms (a word having a meaning opposite to that of another word), meronyms (a word that names a part of a larger whole; for example, “finger” is a meronym of “hand”), hypernyms (a word that is more generic than a given word; for example, “car” or “airplane” are hypernyms for more precise terms like Toyota Camry or Boeing 747), holonyms (a word that names the whole of which a given word is a part; for example, “hat” is a holonym for “brim” and “crown”). WordWeb provides a keyboard shortcut that allows you to look up any word anywhere on your computer. By default, the keyboard shortcut is Ctrl + Right Click, but this can be changed in the Preferences. WordWeb also has access to online references that include Wikipedia, Wiktionary, and WordWeb Online, allowing you to access word definitions on the internet. You can also access a history or your word searches, copy the results of a lookup, and click on any word displayed in WordWeb to display a definition of that word. WordWeb is free, but they have a very unique licensing policy that you must satisfy to continue using the free program. Otherwise, you must purchase WordWeb Pro, which includes 5000 more definitions and many extra features.

Wiktionary
Wiktionary is a free, multilingual dictionary that is the lexical companion to Wikipedia. It includes a thesaurus, a rhyme guide, phrase books, language statistics and extensive appendices, as well as extra, clarifying information in the definitions, such as etymologies, pronunciations, sample quotations, synonyms, antonyms and translations. Wiktionary is a wiki, so you can edit it. However, before you contribute, be sure to read through some of the Help pages, as Wiktionary does things differently than other wikis and they have some strict criteria.
In our search for useful offline and online dictionaries, thesauruses, and other reference tools, we also came across some dictionary programs and websites that serve special purposes, such as a dictionary only defining computer terms, a crossword dictionary, and a few Scrabble dictionaries and word finders.
