An open-source online reverse dictionary

What Is a Reverse Dictionary?

Opposite to a regular (forward) dictionary that provides definitions for query words, a reverse dictionary returns words semantically matching the query descriptions.

What Can a Reverse Dictionary Do?

  • Solve the tip-of-the-tongue problem, the phenomenon of failing to retrieve a word from memory
  • Help new language learners
  • Help word selection (or word dictionary) anomia patients, people who can recognize and describe an object but fail to name it due to neurological disorder
