The Logoi.com Dictionary of English Usage is a completely free online resource for the study of advanced English vocabulary. It is designed as a study tool to prepare for examinations such as GRE, TOEFL, SAT, GMAT, LSAT. We are aware that there are many available classes and software applications to increase your vocabulary but we believe that our dictionary offers some added benefits.

First of all, it is free, which is perhaps the greatest bonus. Second, it is a dictionary based on word usage, rather than definitions. Breaking with the common lexicographic tradition of supplying word definitions and part-of-speech information, we decided to define the words in our dictionary solely based on their usage in context. Thus for each word you have some sample sentences which will aid you understanding what the word in question refers to when used in context.

The context in the dictionary comes from a corpus compiled from dozens of English language novels, both English and American, and translations of foreign novels. Thus the context is genuine, this is the way writers and translators actually use these words.

To begin using the dictionary, first select a letter and then a word:
