Unjumbling Words

Since there are 26 letters in the alphabet, words can be in any combination and of any length. Thousands of words are found in English and a lot more are added as newer words are introduced, either on their own or borrowed from other languages. All these words are catalogued scientifically into a dictionary which is the repository of all words in the English language. The dictionary is able to help all users of English in understanding the meaning of the words, their origin and their pronunciation. Some dictionaries also give synonyms and antonyms. With the advent of online dictionaries a dictionary is now easily accessible to all.
