VariousWords is a free English dictionary and thesaurus built for people who are curious about words. Type any word into the search bar to see its definitions sorted by part of speech, synonyms grouped by meaning, related terms, and example sentences. You can also compare two words side by side to understand the differences, or browse our curated topic collections to learn vocabulary by subject.
Beyond looking up definitions, we have a set of word tools designed for practical use. Writers use the rhyme finder and syllable counter for poetry. Students use the spelling bee solver and prefix/suffix explorer to prepare for competitions. The pattern search is popular with crossword solvers who know some letters but need to fill in the blanks.
If you're learning English or just want to sharpen your vocabulary, our word games make practice feel less like studying. Beginners can start with Missing Letter, Word Match, and True or False — simple games that use everyday words. More experienced players tend to enjoy Wordle, Word Ladder, and the timed Vocabulary Quiz. There's also a Scrabble helper and anagram solver for board game nights.
You can explore the full dictionary alphabetically from A to Z, filter by prefix or suffix, or let the Word of the Day surprise you with something new.
