I couldn't get any reference in Google. Any info would be of great help.

Re: Design a Dictionary
Simple Map<String, List<String>> is enough.
Word 1 => [ Meaning 1, Meaning 2, ... ]
Word 2 => [ Meaning 1, Meaning 2, ... ]

Re: Design a Dictionary
Thanks for the reply. In case of simple map, the search time would be very high if a dictionary contains millions of words.
