Honestly, I hardly use print dictionaries. The size is inflexible to carry around. It also takes me longer to find a word's definition and meaning.

Online English dictionaries are different. Finding the right online English dictionary is like a game-changer, especially when I look to enhance my students’ language skills.

This article compares five free online English dictionaries I have often used as reference resources to help students understand English vocabulary.

They are the Cambridge Dictionary, The Free Dictionary, the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, the Collins Dictionary, and SKELL.

They serve as powerful weapons for strengthening your vocabulary and reading comprehension. Each offers unique features that cater to different needs and preferences. Let’s discover which one might be the best fit for you.
