Lot of googling did not help me! Are there any good dictionary web based available?

I am looking for a site which can send me the meaning of words if we pass the word through query string!

I found you a Big Huge Thesaurus with a web API, and a dictionary at Aonaware that looks like it uses SOAP

No problem, shoban :)If you wouldn't mind, you could choose this as the "accepted answer" so it turns green.

There also exists the dict protocol which has been around for a long time. One of the things I like about dict is the command-line query program that is available.

I have also created a Wiktionary to dict gateway which provides access to the Wiktionary database through the dict protocol.
