Learn a new word every day using this Modern UI app that gets information from Merriam-Webster to show you word definitions, examples and facts #Word of The Day #Word definition #Improve vocabulary #Definition #Dictionary #Vocabulary
Word A Day is a simple and educational application that aims to expand your dictionary by showing a new word on your screen every day, along with its definitions, examples and trivia facts. It's handy for anyone who wishes to improve their English by learning new words.
Before proceeding any further, you should know that this tool supports only the English language. Also, it retrieves the daily words from the Merriam-Webster website.
This means that you must have Internet access to be able to launch the app, and that the same task can be achieved by visiting the Merriam-Webster site via a web browser. Nevertheless, Word A Day spares you the trouble of resorting to a browser and doesn't load any other distracting elements on the screen.
The daily word tool can be effortlessly obtained from the Store, as long as your computer is running Windows 8, 8.1 or 10. It checks the previously mentioned site at startup and automatically exits if you don't have a working Internet connection.
The main window's background shows the image of an opened dictionary. Several columns populate this area, each representing the word of the day. Besides the current day, Word A Day displays the word of the previous nine days.
You can find out the parts of speech, definitions, hyperlinks to other words that you can click to find out their meaning (this loads Merriam-Webster inside the column), as well as examples, and "Did you know?" facts.
Unfortunately, there are no visible buttons for copying, printing or saving words and meanings to file. On the other hand, you can select text with your mouse and right-click to copy it (or press Ctrl+C) as well as take a snapshot of the visible content and share the photo via an external Modern UI program.
All things considered, Word A Day can make a small, yet meaningful contribution to your general knowledge by showing you a new word every day, courtesy of Merriam-Webster.
