I use eedic and dict/dictd running on my own computer. s-d looks up the word under the cursor and displays the result in a second window. s-n finds any singleword anagrams of the word under the cursor. s-w uses Wordplay by Evans Crisswell to list all words that can be made from the letters in the current word as well as multiword anagrams. -- Chris F.A.
