A prominent search box is followed by an A–Z letter grid and a Word of the Day area. A separate desktop column carries related publication material without replacing the dictionary controls. A reference site benefits from a direct search route and a predictable browse route for visitors who do not know the exact term. Mobile: Keep the letter buttons comfortably spaced and place related promotions after the core lookup tools on narrow screens.
