   You can install WordWeb:   
      
     https://wordweb.info/free/   
      
   and have it run in the tray, where it will always be available to spell   
   check words:   
      
   "WordWeb Pro can look up words in virtually any program with just one   
   click: just hold down the Ctrl key and right-click on the word. If you   
   are online, with one extra click you can also search web references, for   
   example Wikipedia. The hotkey can be customized, or you can use a   
   keyboard shortcut if you prefer.   
      
   If you are editing a document you can select a synonym and replace the   
   look-up word. WordWeb has the option to highlight widely used synonyms,   
   great for helping you write clear easy-to-understand English."   
      
   Another such program is TheSage:   
      
     https://sequencepublishing.com/1/thesage/thesage.html   
      
   which seems to have a few more features but is nagware.
