How to Open a Word on Wikipedia from Helperbird

Learn how to jump from a word in the Helperbird Dictionary to its Wikipedia page, for when a short definition is not enough.

On this page

What This Does

A dictionary definition tells you what a word means in a sentence or two. Sometimes that is not enough, and you want the fuller picture. The Learn more on Wikipedia link takes you from the word to its English Wikipedia page.


Who is This For?

This is helpful for:

  • Students researching a topic rather than just a word
  • Anyone who has met a term, a place or a name they want background on
  • People who find an article with pictures easier than a dictionary entry

Opening Wikipedia

Look up a word, then select Learn more on Wikipedia at the bottom of the result, beside Source: Helperbird.

Wikipedia opens with that word's page.

Once you are there, all of Helperbird's website tools work as normal, so you can turn on text to speech, a dyslexia font or Immersive Reader to make the article easier to read.


When This Helps

This is most useful for nouns that are also topics, such as a plant, a place, a person, or a piece of technology. For everyday words like "run" or "quickly", the definition and examples in the Dictionary will usually tell you more than the article does.

The link goes to the English Wikipedia. Some words may lead to a disambiguation page or have no matching article. Helperbird's definitions are AI-generated; the link does not mean the definition was taken from Wikipedia.
