I stumbled on to Ninja today.

A new useful online dictionary is called ‘Ninja’ and do you know why it is called ‘Ninja’.

Ninjas are three things:

1. They're smart
2. They're accurate
3. They're really fast

Ninjawords is based on these principles. Plus everyone likes ninjas and I am no exception.

Some tips to use it even faster:

You can compare definitions by looking up many words on the same page. Type them one by one and hit enter, or type them all at once in the search box, separated by commas.

In fact, you can just type the words you want to look up right into the URL bar.

You can create a list of word definitions all on one page (try using it to keep track of SAT vocab words you're having trouble with). You can then bookmark it, or send the link to others.

Great Addon:

You can use it directly from your system tray if you have Windows.

I located a ‘Random’ button beside the ‘Lookup’ button.

You can hit the ‘random’button to get a random word thrown at you. These words are chosen from a list of GRE vocabulary words and "word of the day" words.

The definitions come from the fast-growing Wiktionary. If Wiktionary does not have the definition, we fall back to the free and open Princeton WordNet dictionary.

I tried the word ‘Gestalt’ and the follwing result was produced in a few seconds.

“gestalt(n) : a collection of physical, biological, psychological or symbolic entities that creates a unified concept, configuration or pattern which is greater than the sum of its parts”.
