If you like words, you'll know *Dictionary.com* - and now you can have the
app right on your Windows 8 desktop. Dictionary.com is a dictionary that you
can access from your desktop. This dictionary function - arguably the most
important part of the app - is integrated into the charm bar - sweep your
mouse into the top right corner, and the bar will appear. Search is the first
option, then specify that you want the search to be limited to
Dictionary.com. As well as basic search functions, Dictionary.com includes
some of the more entertaining content from the website - your history, a word
of the day feature (with pronunciation), hot words, trends and the
interesting local searches (though it's not obvious how often this feature is
updated). In all, Dictionary.com is an attractive and useful app. As we've
seen with some other Windows 8 Metro Apps, though, it doesn't have any
content or functionality that makes it stand out from the website, which is
disappointing, especially as the app is optimized for tablet use and is a
little ungainly on the PC. *Dictionary.com looks good, but it doesn't have
anything that's not on the website.*Download *Dictionary.com Metro App
