A word search, word find, word seek, word sleuth or mystery word puzzle is a word game that consists of the letters of words placed in a grid, which usually has a rectangular or square shape.

The objective of this puzzle is to find and mark all the words hidden inside the box.

The words may be placed horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.

Often a list of the hidden words is provided, but more challenging puzzles may let the player figure them out.

Many word search puzzles have a theme to which all the hidden words are related.

The puzzles have, like crosswords and arrowords, been very popular in the United Kingdom, and - also in common with these latter puzzles - have had complete magazines devoted to them.

A definition is a statement of the meaning of a term (a word, phrase, or other set of symbols).

Definitions can be classified into two large categories, intensional definitions (which try to give the essence of a term) and extensional definitions (which proceed by listing the objects that a term describes).

Another important category of definitions is the class of ostensive definitions, which convey the meaning of a term by pointing out examples.

A term may have many different senses and multiple meanings, and thus require multiple definitions.

A dictionary is a collection of words in one or more specific languages, often arranged alphabetically (or by radical and stroke for ideographic languages), which may include information on definitions, usage, etymologies, phonetics, pronunciations, translation, etc.

or a book of words in one language with their equivalents in another, sometimes known as a lexicon.

It is a lexicographical product which shows inter-relationships among the data.

A synonym is a word or phrase that means exactly or nearly the same as another word or phrase in the same language.

Words that are synonyms are said to be synonymous, and the state of being a synonym is called synonymy.

The word comes from Ancient Greek sýn ("with") and ónoma ("name").

An example of synonyms are the words begin, start, commence, and initiate.

Words can be synonymous when meant in certain senses, even if they are not synonymous in all of their senses.

For example, if one talks about a long time or an extended time, long and extended are synonymous within that context.

Synonyms with exact meaning share a seme or denotational sememe, whereas those with inexactly similar meanings share a broader denotational or connotational sememe and thus overlap within a semantic field.

Some academics call the former type cognitive synonyms to distinguish them from the latter type, which they call near-synonyms.

Precision is a description of random errors, a measure of statistical variability.
