It’s as easy as clicking a button.
I use the Dictionary widget a lot. In fact, it made my list of “Ten Dashboard Widgets I can’t Live Without.” This little widget can not only define a word and provide synonyms, but it can also display a clickable list of related words.
Give it a try:
- Display the Dictionary widget.
- Enter a word and press Return. (In this example, I entered the word apple.) The word’s definition appears.

- Click the letter in the half circle on the left side of the window. (In this example, it’s the letter A.) A list of related words appears.
- To get more information about one of the words, click it.
This also works with the Thesaurus and Apple dictionary features of the Dictionary widget.
