WordNet

Very useful if you want a dictionary. This client is much faster than the Web interface, and you don't need a connection to the internet. The dictionary is fairly unique: enter for example "dog" and then you can choose "dog is a kind of..." or "~is a part of dog" which helps you find words you don't even know. If you're shy of the large download, check the web interface (http://www.cogsci.princeton.edu/cgi-bin/webwn) to see what you get. Oh, and you get a Service to look up words...

For those of us who is using an Intel Mac, here is an Universal Binary of WordNetX 2.0: http://homepage.mac.com/charleslo/ Disclaimer: I am not the developer of this software, just a user who have been using WordNetX 2.0 since 2003.

Very relyable, fast and well... it's the WordNet when you're not online or can't be bothered with a slow connection. Very felxible, but has many windows...
