According to theunofficialgoogleweblog Google has completed the switch from Dictionary.com to Answers.com.

From theunofficialgoogleweblog:

“Rumors and occasional sightings surfaced a couple of weeks ago of Answers.com supplying word definitions for Google searches instead of long-time supplier Dictionary.com.

Now the switch seems to have been made for good. Perform any search, click on the definition link(s) in the upper-right of the screen, and get the definition from Answers.com.

Answers.com is the new branding of Gurunet, which used to operate as a subscription-based reference engine.”
