WORD UP Dictionary is a dictionary for people learning English.
One English word can mean several unrelated things, and a dictionary earns its keep by keeping them apart instead of collapsing them into a single line. Every sense here gets its own explanation, its own level and its own examples, so you can tell which meaning you are actually looking at — and use it without guessing.
Words carry a CEFR level (A1–C2) so you can tell at a glance whether it's worth learning now; IPA and KK pronunciation, because you remember a word better once you can say it; real example sentences, so you see how the word is actually used; synonyms and antonyms to pick up related words in one go; common collocations, so you know what a word usually pairs with; and the mistakes learners make most often. Verbs are marked transitive or intransitive with their sentence patterns; nouns are marked countable or uncountable.
Whether you're preparing for TOEIC or IELTS, or just need to look a word up at work, WORD UP helps you not only understand what a word means but learn how to use it.
