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.
