CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

Like a handful of assorted Jelly Bellys, Magic Jellybean Dictionary mixes sweet experiences with sour ones. It's not a dictionary itself; instead, it connects to an online server that contains several popular and not-so-popular public-domain information sources, including Webster's Unabridged Dictionary (probably the 1913 version), the CIA World FactBook, and Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary. It offers a simple, easy-to-use interface. However, the program has several weak points. You can't resize the program window, which can be a problem for words that return a long entry. The typeface is small and unadjustable, so people with bad eyesight might have problems using the program. Also, you can search only one database at a time, and you need an Internet connection to access the server. On the upside, the program installs and uninstalls quickly and launches in a flash. Amateur etymologists may find the program handier than a bulky dictionary, albeit less authoritative and up-to-date.
