Please note: This is an add-on to the WordFinder dictionary service. If you are not yet a subscriber, head over to www.wordfinder.com! You can try it 7 days for free.

WordFinder is the leading dictionary service that gives you the words you want anywhere, anytime. This Chrome extension gives you the ability to instantly look up words in hundreds of dictionaries directly from any web site.

WordFinder is always there when you need it. You can use any of the following methods to look up words:

 • Or simply enter your word directly in the WordFinder search window. Suggested words from your selected dictionary (or dictionaries!) will appear instantly as you type.

Hold down CTRL (or ⌘ on a Mac) while double-clicking on a translation to insert it in the latest text editing field on the current web page! A single click on a translation will copy it to the clipboard.

WordFinder Unlimited features literally hundreds of dictionaries! Open the menu by clicking on the WordFinder icon in the task bar and go the dictionary page. There you can select only the dictionaries that you are interested in.

While you are working with the WordFinder search window, instantly switch between your selected dictionaries from the dictionary menu, which appears when you click on the “hamburger menu” (three horizontal lines, in the title bar of the WordFinder search window).

We look forward to hearing from you! If you discover a web site where the WordFinder Chrome extension does not work as expected, or have other suggestions or questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us at www.wordfinder.com/support.

Francisca Bobadilla (ID: 000000caffb00743) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 01/24/2023 Jag älskar Wordfinder Proffesional men tillägget för Chrome funkar tyvärr inte som det förväntas då borde det fixas, göra tillägget med Edge eller förklaras bättre. Så länge har jag inte lyckats med varken att söka ett ord eller slå upp ett ord på inget lexikon direkt från en webbsida med Chrome-tillägg.
