I need an online dictionary where I can look up multiple words at once... there used to be a site called ispep.cx/dictionary.php, however, that site is no longer available. Does anyone know of another site that could do something like this? I need an online dictionary where I can look up multiple words at once... there used to be a site called ispep.cx/dictionary.php, however, that site is no longer available. Does anyone know of another site that could do something like this? OK... it is an English dictionary, which can look up multiple words at the same time. For instance, instead of opening up two screens and searching "fish" and "dog" on dictionary.com, I would have one website where I could type in "fish,dog" or something of the like, and it would return a page with the definition(s) of fish and the definition(s) of dog.
