I bought this for my 5th grade daughter to use as reference when she is reading and doesn't know the definition of a word. Out of the 12 words she looked up - she only found the definition for 1. You get what you pay for here, this just isn't complete.

I bought this item for my child to assist with spelling homework and general writing exercises from school. I was surprised to learn that she had not been taught how to use one before, but I make her use it several times during her homework sessions. It beats having to spell everything out and is also useful for teaching her how alphabetical filing works. Even today, this skill is important, though sometimes overlooked due to the ease of Google, Wikis, etc.Well worth the minimal price.
Missing basic words such as enclosed. I purchased this for a relative and most common words she looks up aren't in this dictionary. Now I'm looking for a more complete dictionary to send.
This is an affordable version of the writer's most basic need: a dictionary. Although it is not as extensive as higher priced versions, it will serve when the larger tomes are not available. Light and small enough for briefcases and laptop carrying cases, this handy guide is a best buy.
We have found a couple of words that were not in the dictionary. We won't send it back -- not a big deal. Our other dictionary was worn out, and we have the internet. Would look for a different dictionary.
This is an excellent, basic, carry along little dictionary. If you want one w/ ALL words, be prepared to spend a lot more.
This is a good dictionary in which to correct your spelling, which in my case, I need to do often. It is compact, and it stores nicely in your desk drawer. I recommend it.
