i use
<a href="http://www.myrkr.in-berlin.de/dictionary/
index.html">dictionary↗</a> by <a href="http://www.myrkr.in-
berlin.de/">Torsten Hilbrich↗</a>
which is a interface to dict.org, which includes a similar words dict.
you can easily setup emacs so you can press a button to lookup current
word in any online references sites, including professional ones like
American Heritage Dict, Merriem Webster, Oxford, etc. You may set it
up to either switch you to browser, or show result inside emacs.
