The words from Encyclo

The words on Encyclo are taken from more than 1,000 online wordlists, written by a variety of groups working together to find definitions and keep the lists up to date. In the wordlists you can find meanings and definitions from a number of areas of interest including local authorities, businesses, organisations, charities, social network sites, commercial websites and even private lists made by people as a hobby or to ensure older words no longer in everyday use are not forgotten.

Many of the saved wordlists which are in the unusual or specialised word lists have been changed or removed as businesses have closed or re-organised in the last eight years and can no longer be found on the internet. These lists of words, definitions and meanings have been saved in our archive and are still available in the search results.
