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:

1. Display the Dictionary widget.
2. Enter a word and press Return. (In this example, I entered the word apple.) The word’s definition appears.
   
3. 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.
   
4. 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.
