“Types of” solid will be substance, state or form. “Types” goes down to the meaning of the word, for example solid “types” will be plastic, crystal or block. After a bit of testing we found that the “nearest” tab showed you the preceding and following words in the dictionary, “see also” was a suggestion of related words and “similar” presented a word that resembled your search but had a slightly different meaning. The heart of WordWeb resides in the results tabs, although the difference between them all wasn’t obvious from the start.

WordWeb isn’t associated to any world famous reliable dictionary like Webster’s, preferring its very own online source, comprising of more than 240,000 words and updated regularly, according to the developer. You can refine your search by selecting word categories like nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs and decide to show pronunciation, usage and offensive or vulgar words. The program keeps a history of your searches and you can quickly access them via the side arrows. On install WordWeb will ask you the English locale you will use, such as Australian, Canadian American or New Zealander.

You get that in Wordweb via system tray integration, and a Ctrl+Alt+W hot key combination. What you’re looking for in a dictionary application is something you can open in a click, paste your word, and immediately get the results.
