Ghostkattt21 ★★★★★ v5.9.5 2026-09-14
The best US English dictionary
As a writer, English teacher, and puzzle & trivia nerd, this is my go-to app for definitions, spellings, pronunciations, synonyms, + winning nerdy arguments. I love the M-W collegiate physical book, but the app is updated constantly so in some ways it’s superior to the dead tree version.

Love this app!!
I use Merriam-Webster app everyday and have learned so many words and their spelling. I love “word of the day”.
