Type in the word, it spits out the definition. You can look at synonyms for your word list, quiz yourself, create flashcards, generate worksheets (yuck, but still it has that option), ... Also don't forget about our advanced options (located under the text box in the home tab) which give you options such as alphabetizing and numbering your list. You can specify the maximum number of definitions for each word and whether or not to randomly pick these definitions from the dictionary (for example picking 2 definitions out of a possible 10).  QuickDefine is our cool new feature that offers a maximum of 2 definitions per word with the click of a button (under the List tab).
