New Feature: Topics

We’ve improved our site by adding topic information to most of the dictionary entries, based on our unique SMART Thesaurus from the Cambridge Advanced Learner’s Dictionary. Now, when you look up a word in a selected topic, you’ll see other entries in that topic on the right-hand side – a group of words that are related to the word you looked up. The words in the cloud are bigger or smaller depending on how frequently they are used.

Right above the synonym cloud, next to the heading, is the name of the topic. Click on the link to see more words that are associated with that topic.
