About the Dictionary App
Lexicon is a dictionary app design template built around a "Letterpress Scholar" aesthetic: warm paper-cream backgrounds, deep ink-charcoal text, and a muted oxblood red reserved for headwords, part-of-speech tags, and the pronounce button. Entries flow down the open page separated by faint sepia rule lines with no rounded cards at all, so every screen reads like a column from a finely printed reference book.
The template ships six connected screens that form a complete reference flow: a Search home with recent lookups and a Word of the Day, a full Entry with numbered definitions and etymology, a Thesaurus of synonyms and antonyms, a Saved word list, a Learn flashcard view with a streak count, and a You profile with words-mastered stats. A signature touch carries through every screen: a tracked-out oxblood phonetic respelling with IPA and a small circular pronounce-orb sit beneath each headword.
Use it in Sleek and make it yours: restyle the palette, edit any screen with AI by describing the change, and add the flows your product needs. Then export it to code, copy it into Figma, or hand a prompt to an AI agent to build it for real, all far faster than starting from a blank canvas.
What's inside
Screens included
Search
An inset underlined search field over a plain text list of recent lookups (ephemeral, quixotic, laconic) and a Word of the Day block for 'petrichor' with its IPA and pronounce-orb. The calm entry point into the dictionary.
Entry
A large serif headword with oxblood IPA, a pronounce-orb, and a small-caps part-of-speech tag, followed by numbered definitions, an italic example sentence, and an etymology line. The core reference page with thesaurus, usage notes, and related tabs.
Thesaurus
Synonyms and antonyms laid out as ink word-chips on hairline-ruled rows, with relevance shown by type weight. Helps users explore related vocabulary at a glance.
Saved
A personal word list titled 'My Words' with 47 entries, grouped alphabetically as a ruled index with the part-of-speech tag right-aligned in oxblood. A bookmarked collection for return visits.
Learn
A daily vocabulary flashcard for 'quixotic' with its IPA and a tap-to-flip prompt, a 12-day streak badge, and previous/next controls with progress dots. Turns review into a habit.
You
A profile with a hero figure of 218 words mastered this month, recent activity, and account settings for language, region, and typography size. Tracks progress and personalises the reading experience.
