Ultimate WOTD

by William

This Widget grabs the Word of the Day from multiple sources, and provides the pronunciation(s), definition(s), usage examples, etymology, and even audio pronunciations when available! It also provides a link back to the source's webpage. This is a great way to increase your vocabulary, especially if you are preparing for the SAT or PSAT!

    This is an awesome widget, and is the best word of the day one available! But to be honest, dictionary.com is my favorite source of word of the day, and it would be even more awesome if it was working on here! I still go to dictionary.com to get their word of the day on top of seeing the yahoo one, so I am anxious to have it working on the widget sometime soon!

    @ Everyone else

    Remember, even if the Dictionary.com source is broken, there are still four other sources that you can use.

    I apologize for not working on a fix. (See comment below.)

    @ LAG and John Land:

    Dictionary.com has changed it's webpage - they gave it a new look, so the code that the widget uses to "read" the page now fails.

    For now, you'll just have to uncheck Dictionary.com from the list of available sources. I regret to say that I do not have time to maintain this widget anymore. For one, I've switched to Linux, and Yahoo! Widgets doesn't run on Linux. (There are other widget engines for Linux.) Secondly, I'm extremely busy with More

    Same problem as John Land. Dictionary.com fails to load. This has been occurring for some time. I've tried to re download but same thing happens. I have the latest version, 3.1.

Get It!
