Look up any word in an inline frame with a simple click and without leaving the page.

This extension that allows you to quickly look up definitions of words and phrases in a clean inline box. The definitions come from Wiktionary, but have been preprocessed to reduce formatting and provide faster lookup. Hold a modifier key (Alt on Windows, Command on Mac, Ctrl on Linux) and double-click or select any word to look it up - an inline box will open to the dictionary entry of that word, usually including examples, audio pronunciation and synonyms.

You can also lookup manually-entered queries using a shortcut which displays a small query form.

NOTES:
1. After installing, pages already open will not work for looking up - just refresh them and it'll be solved.
2. The Chrome Extensions Gallery pages don't allow lookup (or any on-page extensions) for security reasons.
3. This extension does not add a toolbar icon.

The dictionary itself is great but the words that show phonetic spelling are scarce despite the Wiktionary page having them available and also it doesn't specifies the accent of each spelling which is really confusing

One of the best dictionaries available.
Able to look up older Archaic words and such found in the Bible
Thanks!

There's a problem with the extension: frequently when I open Chrome, the options page for this extension automatically opens in a new tab. It's not useful at all, it's just an annoying tab I have to close all the time. If it weren't for that, I'd give 5 stars. It seems to only happen after I restart my computer (I have Windows 10) and then open Chrome.

Love it but: 1- Save button in settings is just in a weird place! Who puts the save button at the right edge? I have been changing settings and wondering why it wasn't working until I accidently saw the save button lol
2- Please make an option for the bubble to go away without animation (fade).
Thanks for the great extension!
