I'm stuck for thought. I think it needs a design too. What do you suggest?

Hmm, if you are going to change it, maybe make a new logo and add more color into it.

For fun, maybe you could add a "Word of the Day" thing.
 
I think the actual script could use more definitions, loading time is nice. Nothing too special about it, but I {would} prefer it over dictionary.com because of the ads, if it had all the definitions I needed. I usually look up words that are more slang, or more unique then some of the generic definitions you have. Still a good idea though for sure. 8/10, just ad more definitions.
 
maybe you could add in definitions of web terms too. like webopedia has. and maybe make the actual word a different color than the definition so that it stands out more.
 
Well if you need any help designing a simple but affective layout ill help you no problem :p just add me to aim or msn

HeHe, there is a little fun Word thing - just look very carefully!

Tell yah what uzzer - if I ever find more definitions, I'll add them ;).

Any thoughts on the browse section? I know it's mainly for search engines but I dont want it to ruin the site's look.
 
I like this site. Easy to use and nice and simple, definitely bookmarked. Maybe add a thesaurus function as well? I like the simple layout as well.
 
Hmm, I think the browse section is way too cluttered. And "Please choose a letter" should be aligned in the center like everything else (don't know if it's Firefox's problem though). Maybe a simple A - B - C organization would be better than Aa - Ab and so on. I'm not sure though. It would at least look cleaner.
 
thanks everybody.

This got on the front page of digg and the main comments were:
- Bigger database (a lot of people couldnt find words)
- Spell checker

So i'm going to work on them before the design. Once thats done I'll use the search page as inspiration, thanks pdrucker ;)
