That's the Thesaurus, The dictionary is at:
http://dictionary.reference.com/

It is American so has US spellings of words. I use it sometimes but not as good as a hardback copy of Chambers.

Some Chambers reference books are available on-line here:

The 21st Century Dictionary has fewer words than their full one.

morning,
I use
http://www.onelook.com/
as you can put ? for missing letters and if there are a lot of words that fit you can put in a word from the clue and it narrows the search to only relevant words
