..it's brilliant. As a teacher I use it at least a couple of times a week and the kids I teach love the crosswords.

WordWeb Pro Dictionary/Thesaurus

WordWeb Pro is an optional English dictionary, thesaurus and word finder that integrates smoothly with Crossword Compiler.

Use it to look up words in the grid and from the clue editor to help write clues. A word list is also provided for word finding and grid filling.

WordWeb Pro can also be used to look up words in any other Windows program: just Ctrl+Right Click on a word in any program. It is also available as a separate program.

Comprehensive database

The dictionary has over 150 000 words and 120 000 synonym sets, including many proper nouns, collocations and phrases.

Unlike any paper dictionary or thesaurus WordWeb is truly a Word Web - each set of synonyms is linked to other related sets. Lookup "tree", click on the "Types" tab and you'll have a list of different types of tree. Click on "Part of" and WordWeb will tell you that a tree can be part of a "forest" or "wood".

Web reference tabs

The main WordWeb database can be used while you are offline. However if you are online you can now also quickly check web references, for example Wikipedia or your other favorite site. The web references are displayed in tabs near the top of the window: just click a tab to look up the word online and see the result right inside the WordWeb window.

Large word list

A word list of over 260 000 words, compounds and derived forms from WordWeb is included. Use it for searching for words and with Crossword Compiler.
