Collins Word Lists

Informative and comprehensive subject word lists provide a wealth of material connected with many entry words.

Lists included are famous people such as actors, artists, composers, politicians, and writers, all arranged by occupations, and geographical information such as countries, capitals, currencies, and political parties, arranged by subject. It is therefore a source of invaluable information for solving general-knowledge clues in crosswords and puzzles, and for boosting home study.
