An English language dictionary applet, perfect for quick access searching for words and definitions, or cycling through some random words to enrich your knowledge of the English language!
We use our own fork of the Wordset Dictionary, so please submit any additions or corrections there so we can guarantee these changes make it into the applet.
By far the best way to install the applet is through the official COSMIC™ Flatpak repository. Firstly, ensure you have Flatpak itself installed. You then should be able to search for and install the applet from the COSMIC™ Store, under the Applets category. Alternatively, you can ensure you have the correct repo enabled and install through the command line.
