Is there a limit to how many words I can search for?

Asked 2 years ago
Dictionary.com does not impose a strict limit on the number of words that an individual can search for in a single session. Users are welcome to search for as many words as they desire. However, it is important to keep in mind that the website's functionality and user experience may vary depending on the performance of your internet connection and your device. If a user initiates a large number of searches in a short period of time, they may encounter temporary restrictions or be required to wait before performing additional searches, as a measure to prevent abuse of the service. It is always advisable to be mindful of how often one is querying the site to maintain a smooth and efficient experience. For any specific policies or guidelines regarding usage, users can refer to the information provided on the current web page. Searching for definitions and word meanings on Dictionary.com can be a highly informative experience, and users are encouraged to explore the numerous features available.
