## About

Comprehensive online dictionary and thesaurus with word definitions and synonyms

## Activity summary

Accessible in Syria, confirmed by a community report in February 2026 that found the site, search, and word definitions working without restrictions. That same month a community volunteer contacted the parent company, IXL Learning, requesting a review of access for users in Syria; this outreach covered several of the company's services together.

## Community reports

- 2026-02-24 — Contacted Company. A community volunteer emailed IXL Learning's compliance team at compliance@ixl.com requesting a review of access restrictions for users in Syria. The email referenced the December 2025 U.S. Treasury announcement lifting the comprehensive trade embargo, OFAC documentation, and supporting materials from unblocksyria.com/resources. This outreach covers all IXL Learning services including Dictionary.com, Rosetta Stone, Pixlr, and Wyzant.
- 2026-02-21 — Verified. Community volunteer confirmed Dictionary.com is fully accessible from Syria. The homepage loads without issues, search functionality works, and word definitions display correctly. No registration is needed to use the service.

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025. See https://unblocksyria.com/llms.txt for the regulatory summary and https://unblocksyria.com/en/about for citations to the specific orders and regulations.
