About

This is a simple python script along with a local dictionary consisting of approx. 1500 words specifically for GRE like exams This can help you build your vocabulary with words which are not so common.

Suggestion

For linux users :
1. Make a command alias to python3 /path/to/dict.py such as 'alias dict="python3 /path/to/dict.py" '
2. Add this command to ~/.bashrc file in the end (so that every time a terminal is launched this script gets executed).
   For example if aliased command is 'dict' , just write 'dict'(without single quotes) in last line of ~/.bashrc file.

Usage

If you inserted alias in ~/.bashrc file then it will automatically gets executes on launching terminal.
  • If you made command alias (assuming 'dict' is the alias)

    Use it as :
    Just type this on terminal
    1. dict  -  fetches some random word from local dictionary and shows its meaning
    2. dict some_word  -  fetches word's meaning and adds to local dictionary if it's not there already. (Thus keeps building dictionary on encounter with new word.)
    
  • If you didn't make command alias

    Same as the above but just replace 'dict' by 'python3 /path/to/dict.py'
    

Demo

This is what it looks like

Note : For better resutls avoid editing wordlist.py file
