Excellent resource for Chaucer

Great dictionary and app
The dictionary looks better in dark mode and the app is quick plus no ads to distract!
Great dictionary
Easy to use design. No ads. Great definitions and examples for words. Much better than any standard dictionary today. Some words are missing, but remember that this was written in 1913. It was a simpler time and people didn’t know about things like “soccer” or “proton”. But they did know “nincompoop” so that’s something.

A really attractive modern presentation of Webster’s 1918 dictionary, which has beautifully detail definitions and great examples of usage from classic writers. Thank you so much for making this app!
OED fan exploring
As a fan of OED over Webster’s I must admit that this is a delight in its own way.
Thank you!

High quality presentation of Noah Webster’s classic!
This is a digital version of the classic 1913 Webster’s dictionary. The typography and layout is well done.
There’s a good discussion of Webster’s in Hacker News (search there for “You’re probably using the wrong dictionary”). This app’s author worked on it for years as a labor of love.
