About DashClock Word of the Day

DashClock "Word of the Day" plugin is an extension for DashClock Widget


Be sure to also check out my new "Daily Horoscope" DashClock widget just released to the Play Store.


Are you a self-proclaimed "Word Nerd"? If so, DashClock "Word of the Day" extension has been developed with you in mind!


Enhance your vocabulary by viewing a new word and definition on your lock screen every day. Learning a new word is reinforced each time you unlock your screen and view the word and definition. Be the envy of your neighbors and peers as you show off your newly acquired linguistic skills.


Choose from 6 different daily word source feeds:


• Merriam-Webster (default)
• TheFreeDictionary
• UrbanDictionary
• WordSmith
• Macmillan
• Rotate Hourly


When clicking on the word / definition on your screen, choose to view additional details for the displayed word via:


• Same as feed source
• Dictionary.com
• Google
• Wikipedia
• Disable Lookup
• Send to Share Intent


Option to "Dismiss Word on Click" so that current (when a single source is selected) word is dismissed / no longer displayed, and new word will not appear until next available word is provided via the source.


You can also elect to disable word lookup all together, so that when clicked, word is dismissed but not opened in a browser to view details. This clears the word from your widget display until a new word is available to view.

You can also, instead of opening the word / definition in your browser, using your selected "source" destination, choose to "Send" the word to Android's built-in "Share" intent, allowing you to select from a list of apps that support this option. If your favorite dictionary app supports this feature, you can select from the presented list and open the word definition directly in the app, rather than through your browser. Nice!

See Youtube screencast for additional details and known supported dictionary apps:

If selection source is set to "Hourly" next word will appear within 60 minutes of the time that the current word has been dismissed.

What are users saying about DashClock Word of the Day

C70%
by C####:

by default the word takes up half the screen, forcing the clock to get smaller. Would 5 star if fixed.

T70%
by T####:

Installed the app on lg g4 and Samsung s3. After that i don't see it in app section or widget section. Don't know what to do next.

C70%
by C####:

Not showing the meaning. Just shows a '('

T70%
by T####:

T70%

Love it! :-D

L70%
by L####:

add an option to change words timing

T70%
by T####:

For the last little bit (a couple weeks or so?), the definitions are incorrect for the displayed word. Otherwise, when it was working, it was perfect. Looking for another option now until this error is corrected. Update: updated to 5 stars due to explanation of problem from developer. It should have been obvious to me from the beginning.

T70%
by T####:

Would be better if the layout stayed where it is under the clock when you pull down the widget on the lock screen.

W70%
by W####:

This is NOT the widget itself. Search

U70%
by U####:

Installed, but not showing on device in apps or widgets. Not active on screen, either. Might be user error.

Y70%
by Y####:

To those belly-aching over where their definitions are coming from: Merriam Webster is an inferior dictionary. It just is (don't take my word for it-- Google it). If you think you're so discerning that the dev should to do your bidding for you, then you ought to think again. Merriam Webster is the industry scrub. Look it up, already. Fin.

U70%
by U####:

Seems pointless without pronunciation

E70%
by E####:

Limiting the amount of dictionaries that rotate hourly would be nice. Other than that, the extension works perfectly.

H70%
by H####:

The app did nothing after installing it. Nothing happens and their is no widget or app to set up the application.

X70%
by X####:

But the app is no where to be seen. It's neither in the apps drawer or the widget page...

Please add an option to show the source. Maybe it could be abbreviated before the word. Example: (TFD) Locomote
