Minimalist Dictionary: English

A dictionary with nothing extra.

Minimalist Dictionary gives you the 5,000 most common English words in a calm, simple design. No feeds, no pop-ups, no noise. Just the word, what it means, and how to say it.

SPIN, PICK, LEARN Turn the wheel to choose a letter. Turn it again to choose a word. Tap the arrow, and the word is there: a clear definition, its pronunciation and an example sentence. Looking up a word feels quick and easy, and browsing feels like turning pages.

THE WORDS THAT MATTER MOST You don't need 200,000 words to speak English well. You need the right ones. Minimalist Dictionary focuses on the 5,000 words you will see and hear most often, chosen from well-known CEFR word lists and sorted by how common they are.

THREE LEVELS Pick the level that fits you, and the wheel shows only those words: - Basic (A1–A2): 1,500 everyday words - Intermediate (B1–B2): 2,000 words for work, study and travel - Advanced (C1): 1,500 words for fluent reading and writing Switch levels any time in Settings.

CLEAR DEFINITIONS Every definition is written in plain English, at the level of the word. No long entries, no confusing grammar notes. Each word comes with an example sentence that shows how it is used in real life.
