Frictionary

a dictionary for wandering

Frictionary is a dictionary you browse rather than search. Every letter of the alphabet runs on its own line colour, like a metro map, and every word is a stop. Slide the scroll bar to travel, pull it out to slow down to two and three letters, tap a word to open it, and press * to be thrown somewhere you'd never have looked.

Hold the Dynamic Island to see your route — the words you've stopped at — and ride back to any of them.

Over 100,000 words, with origins. Works offline.
