Add words to your personal dictionary

With Grammarly’s personal dictionary feature, you can ensure that unique words in your lexicon won’t be flagged as misspelled.

If you’d like to stop flagging a particular spelling as incorrect, you can add the word to your personal dictionary by clicking Add to dictionary on the suggestion card.

Keep in mind that only words containing English language letters, hyphens, and some other symbols can be added to your personal dictionary. The maximum word length is 100 symbols.

Note: Words with special symbols such as !, ?, +, $, &, /, and several words separated by spaces cannot be added to your personal dictionary.

Once you add a word to your personal dictionary, it will not be flagged in Grammarly product offerings.

Note: Admins of team plans can activate or deactivate personal dictionary for all members of their plan, or for select groups, on the Feature access page. If you are a member of a team plan and you cannot access the Your dictionary page, it means this option has been turned off by an admin.

If you’re on the Free plan, you can upgrade to one of the paid tiers at www.grammarly.com/plans to access advanced writing features and boost your productivity.
