The definitions are sourced from the famous and open-source WordNet database, so a huge thanks to the many contributors for creating such an awesome free resource. In case you didn't notice, you can click on words in the search results and you'll be presented with the definition of that word (if available). For those interested, I also developed Describing Words which helps you find adjectives and interesting descriptors for things (e.g. So this project, Reverse Dictionary, is meant to go hand-in-hand with Related Words to act as a word-finding and brainstorming toolset.

That project is closer to a thesaurus in the sense that it returns synonyms for a word (or short phrase) query, but it also returns many broadly related words that aren't included in thesauri. I made this tool after working on Related Words which is a very similar tool, except it uses a bunch of algorithms and multiple databases to find similar words to a search query. So in a sense, this tool is a "search engine for words", or a sentence to word converter. It acts a lot like a thesaurus except that it allows you to search with a definition, rather than a single word. The engine has indexed several million definitions so far, and at this stage it's starting to give consistently good results (though it may return weird results sometimes). For example, if you type something like "longing for a time in the past", then the engine will return "nostalgia". It simply looks through tonnes of dictionary definitions and grabs the ones that most closely match your search query.

It is the only number that is squeezed between two cube numbers and an unsolved rubicks cube can be solved in no more than twenty six moves.The way Reverse Dictionary works is pretty simple. It is the smallest number that isn't a palindrome but has a square which is. The number twenty six is truly brilliant. Reading the text column-wise decodes the message as: NEESSLIAITMEURT'ADEHSRISIEYBHSEDWTUURDNVUKUASENRAESO.

You'll have to work out for yourself which shift was used. If the shift was three, then the ciphertext must be split into three lines, four lines for a shift of four etc. In order to decipher it, the ciphertext must be split into two parts. In this case, a shift of two, in other words two lines, was used. The ciphertext is then created by reading across the rows as follows: pnaefrra fsa cksobekat It can be enciphered using a shift of two by writing it as follows: p Take the plaintext "pancakes for breakfast" for example.
Rail fence cipher code#
The code maker improves the security of the cipher by choosing more than two lines to encrypt the message. To create the final encrypted message, the sequence of letters on the upper line is then followed by the sequence on the lower line. The rail fence cipher involves writing messages so that alternate letters are written on separate upper and lower lines. The Enigma machine was used by the Germans to encode messages in WW2.
