‘WordWeb’ a handy, free tool
In this economy, there’s not a more fun F-word to mutter than “free.” We found an amazing downloadable tool called WordWeb that won’t cost you a dime.

Ah, "free." What a great word – especially as times are tight these days.
We stumbled upon a freebie called WordWeb, a downloadable dictionary and thesaurus that lets you look up words from almost any program.
Simply hold down the CTRL key and right-mouse click on a word and a small window pops up with the definition, synonyms, antonyms and links to Wikipedia and other sites.
This 7.4MB software can be used offline (except for the optional web links, of course) and the database houses more than 150,000 root words and 120,000 synonym sets. WordWeb also includes proper nouns, related words and pronunciations.
The free program does not contain any spyware or adware.

You people have a VERY MISLEADING site!!!!!
You say it's FREE, however it appears NOT to be that way!!!
At the very end, it says you have to "subscribe", and that's definetly NOT FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please explain to me, how Free turned into "Subscription"!
Sincerly,

Hi Connie,
WordWeb is indeed free. Maybe you clicked on the "Pro" version?

It's an awesome tool. I have been using for the past 2 years, simply love it.
There's also a FREE download edition other than a paid edition.

This is a great program! Super fast download and super fast results pop-up, and free if you promise not to make more than three airplane trips a year (I like developers with a sense of humour). The only thing missing is the etymology of the words. Thanks!

FREE! This isn't free. One has to agree to privacy policies of several other companies. These are lengthly and complicated and as you go further down , there were names of sites that looked like sexual content. I was looking for something as simple as screensavers. I was disappointed with the one shown as free but that wasn't even free unless I clicked on another screen where there was a site about "girl ense" I think. I don't have time for the Bull___. I go without the screensaver!
