About Frictionary
Frictionary is a dictionary you browse, not search.
Every letter of the alphabet runs on its own line colour, like a metro map, and every word is a stop. There's no search box. You travel, and along the way you pass words you'd never have thought to look up. That's the point.
SLIDE THE BAR
Run your thumb along the letters to travel through the book.
PULL TO SLOW DOWN
Pull your thumb off the bar and the letters open into two-letter stops. Pull further for three. Prefer resting to pulling? Switch to Hold in Settings.
TAP A WORD
Open any word for its meanings and where it came from.
TAP * AND GET LOST
The * throws you somewhere in the book you'd never have looked.
YOUR ROUTE
Hold the island at the top of the screen to see the words you've opened, and ride back to any of them.
ALSO
• Over 100,000 words, many with their origins
• Works fully offline
• Text size, a left- or right-handed scroll bar, and a choice of app icons
• No accounts, no ads
Definitions and origins come from Wiktionary (via kaikki.org) under CC BY-SA 4.0. The word list also draws on Open English WordNet and wordfreq.
