WWWebster Dictionary
"Webster has gone Web! You can’t thumb through the pages, but you can surf from word to word with the hyperlinked cross-references. And if there is a Merriam-Webster Thesaurus entry for your word, it is also just a click away. If you misspell a word, the server offers a list of close matches. Or view a list of potential matches by using the asterisk. For example, "hyper*" provides a list of 261 words from hyper to hypervitaminosis. However, the word I use all the time still isn’t listed: hyperlink. "
