Words online Merriam-Webster dictionary wondered if I meant when I checked if "widescreen" was a word

1. wide-screen
2. wiedersehen
3. widdershins
4. white cedar
5. white sucker
6. wood-carver
7. wide-spreading
8. widow's walk
9. wood-carvers
10. widow's peak

Wiedersehen?? Widdershins???

Still, the online Merriam-Webster's is very handy.

Hey there

Widdershins means anti-clockwise. It is a term uncommonly used with regard to paganism. In the UK in folk history it was thought that if you run widdershins 3 times around a church at midnight, you will meet the devil.
