Is there such a thing as an online dictionary that you can browse through?

I want to find a word beginning with 'O' - probably a verb - to fit into an anagram. Most online dictionarys only allow you to look up a particular word.

Thanks in advance

Its not exactly what you asked for but this Crossword Solver might help.

You get to choose how many letters and put the first letter in and it gives you a list of words.

Let me know what you think.

Hope this helps,

John.

Sorry, I didn't explain it well, it's not an anagram - couldn't think of the right word and I was in a rush this morning when I typed it in. I think Abbrieiveation is what I meant. It could be any number of letters but needs to start with 'O'.

I need to flick through the 'O' section of a paper dictionary or thesaurus (remember them?!) but don't have one and don't really want to buy one just for this. No worries, never mind, thanks anyway.

What does the O word need to mean?
