CNET Says Merriam-Webster has launched a subscription service that provides online access to the unabridged version of Webster\’s Third New International Dictionary.


The unabridged version offers more than 470,000 word entries compared with the Collegiate version, which has less than half that number of definitions.


The paid version also provides specialized searches of definitions, etymologies, rhymes, authors and quotations, word games, a monthly newsletter, as well as access to The Merriam-Webster Atlas. The company, which is offering a 14-day free trial, will charge $29.95 annually or $4.95 monthly.
