Language and Spelling
Although Encyclo's emphasis is on British English spelling and definitions, American lists may be included in order to increase search capabilities when the topic lacks a complete definition list in British English.

Why use Encyclo?
Encyclo brings you straight to the definition you are looking for and uses many diverse sources in order that you can find the definition you require in context. We do not use popups, slidethrough or any other of those annoying adverts. With encyclo you can search for the meaning of an individual word or look through the sources for more definitions and categories which may contain your word.
Encyclo also strives to bring you words in the British English criteria and not the American spellings and definitions. However due to a lack of complete definition lists in some areas we have included some US lists to increase your search capabilities.

This day in history:
The twentieth-century history of Windsor Castle is dominated by the major fire that started on 20 November 1992. It began in the Private Chapel, when a spotlight came into contact with a curtain and ignited the material.
It took 15 hours and one-and-a-half million gallons of water to put out the blaze. Nine principal rooms and over 100 other rooms over an area of 9,000 square metres were damaged or destroyed by the fire, approximately one-fifth of the Castle area.
