How many pages are there in a dictionary?

Answer 1

There is no such thing as "the dictionary."

There are many dictionaries published by various companies in almost every language.

They all have different numbers of words beginning with X.

Answer 2

It should be noted that the OED is known for being THE comprehensive reference, and as such is much longer and more thorough than most dictionaries, including truly obscure words, full etymologies (where known), and citations of early usage. Most dictionaries will have far fewer pages than that. For example, Webster's New Universal Unabridged, which is on the hefty side compared to the dictionaries you'd typically find in, say, a high school, is a "mere" 2264 pages, and the Merriam-Webster Dictionary New Edition (2016) weighs in at just 939 pages in paperback form.

Answer 3

The number of pages in a dictionary varies depending on the size and format of the dictionary. A typical medium-sized dictionary may have around 800 to 1500 pages, while larger dictionaries can have over 2000 pages.

Answer 4

They range from pocket size with 100/200/300 pages to the world's largest which is published in 40 volumes and took 134 years to complete

Answer 5

depends what dictionary you are using and what font size it has :)

Answer 6

There are many different dictionaries. The Oxford English dictionary first volume had 10 volumes, and 15,490 pages.
