For the month of May, I am sharing a powerful, free website to help you find the exact word or phrase that you’re looking for: OneLook Dictionary Search<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes there is a word on the tip of your tongue, but you cannot remember it. Other times you might be searching for a word\/phrase that is related to a specific concept. OneLook Dictionary Search can help with these scenarios and many more. It can be very helpful while writing a paper, jotting down speaker notes for a presentation, or for composing an email. If you find it useful, you can even add it to your web browser’s search bar or add a bookmarklet<\/a> for easy access. See their FAQ<\/a> for more tips and suggestions on how to use it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What online dictionary and reference tools do you like to use? Please share them with me via email<\/a> or in the comments, and they may be included in a future Tech Tip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
