I have realized that my vocab is too weak and I need to work hard on it.
I have combined gre words recommended by gregmat(30 groups -960 words), Magoosh (Basic, intermediate, advanced), powerscore, PrepScholar( 57 words), and Barron(800 words) and I have started learning them in alphabetical order.
Most of those words have 2-3 meanings. So, which would be the best dictionary to look for those words? I don't want to waste most of my time searching for meanings instead I want to memorize them and create a visual reference in my head(maybe through mnemonics) and sentences.
Should I directly look for meaning and sentences from google or Is there a better specific dictionary (maybe merriam-webster, oxford, collins,etc)
Am I doing it wrong? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

Hi AdityaAmatya IMO, you might be drowning yourself in studying words here. Vocabulary helps, no doubt, but it is even more important to understand the prompt in detail.
Perhaps reading my GRE journey below will help. Link below:
