Click any word while reading to instantly see its meaning, reading, and more. Word Lab is your home base for understanding Japanese — whether you're looking up a single word or exploring how kanji fit together. Entries are drawn from professional Japanese dictionaries including JMDict and KanjiDic. When you search for a word that isn't in those dictionaries — slang, compound verbs, or rare vocabulary — Word Lab generates a full dictionary entry on the fly using AI, so you never hit a dead end.
