The collaborative acronym dictionary that keeps your entire organisation speaking the same language.
Every company invents its own language. define.wtf makes sure everyone can keep up.
The problem
Your company runs on acronyms. Nobody knows what half of them mean.
Tribal knowledge gets lost in Slack threads, onboarding docs go stale, and new hires feel like they need a translator. Sound familiar?
Without define.wtf
✗"What does OIG stand for?" — posted in #general for the third time this week
✗New hire spends their first two weeks decoding the company alphabet soup
✗That one spreadsheet buried in a Google Drive folder no one can find
✗Every team has their own conflicting definition of "SLA"

One search box. Instant answers. Every acronym your company uses, in one place.
Onboarding collections get new hires fluent in company-speak from day one
Definitions evolve with your org — anyone can contribute, the best answers rise

Features
Everything you need. Nothing you don't.
Purpose-built for teams that have outgrown spreadsheets and wikis.
Instant search
Full-text search with fuzzy matching and autocomplete. Find any acronym — or search by what it means — in milliseconds.
Multiple definitions
The same acronym can mean different things to different teams. Pin the canonical answer, keep department-specific context alongside.
Community voting
Definitions are ranked by your team's votes. The best explanations surface naturally. Outdated ones sink.

Webhooks & integrations
Get notified when acronyms change. Pipe events to Slack, Zapier, or your internal tooling with real-time webhook delivery.
How it works
Up and running in minutes
No lengthy rollouts. No migration projects. Just the shortest path from "what does that stand for?" to an answer.
Create your workspace
Pick a subdomain — acme.define.wtf — and connect your identity provider. Your team signs in with the credentials they already use.
Seed or import your glossary
Upload a CSV of existing acronyms, or start from scratch. Either way, you'll have a searchable dictionary within minutes.
Let your team contribute
Anyone can add definitions, vote on accuracy, and suggest improvements. Admins can pin, lock, and curate — without bottlenecking contributions.
