Advanced English Dictionary is a great tool for those who want to have a greater vocabulary continuously at their fingertips no matter where they are. It is a completely free dictionary with around 400,000 words! Some of the entries offer photos and all of the entries offer pronunciations in both American and British English. Each of the word entries also includes related words that can help you to find the best possible word for whatever project you are working on. Advanced English Dictionary is great for those who have a good grasp of the English language and who want to further develop their vocabularies and comprehension skills. It also offers a fun Word of the Day portion of their program that helps you expand your vocabulary little by little every single day.

The search bar is incredibly easy to use for those who know how to spell the word that they are trying to find. It does not have a spell check option, which can be tricky for finding words that you aren't quite sure about their correct spelling. Although it is not always the easiest to find the word you are looking for, Advanced English Dictionary allows for both online and offline searching which can be very helpful for people on the go.

The interface for the American English Dictionary is familiar and feels very much like a traditionally written dictionary. It offers both the synonyms and antonyms of the word you have searched with clickable links in the sidebar to find them. This can be great for helping to develop a better understanding of the words we use every day and how they are related to one another.

While the Advanced English Dictionary may not be as flexible as completely online dictionaries, it does offer a complete user experience and is perfect for those who have limited internet connectivity.
