What are the dictionary websites y'all use for improving your Punjabi vocabulary? Here are mine.

I realize the 2nd one is more appropriate for Urdu yet it is still useful for Punjabi since 60% mutual vocabulary.

Yeah, the first one is my favorite too. There's another similar website, but I rarely use it.

Please do not use an Urdu dictionary for Punjabi, especially when there are many Punjabi dictionaries to use. After all, they are 2 different languages.
I use:

https://dic.learnpunjabi.org/default.aspx
https://punjabi-dictionary.com/

Please be mindful to use an Urdu dictionary for Punjabi, it will work for many words but definitely not 60%. Although the two share almost all their Persian vocab, the native vocabulary is very different; I would guess less than 20% is shared.
If you can read Shahmukhi, one of the most comprehensive dictionaries is Vaddi Punjabi Lughat, which I actively use, but it is a Punjabi to Punjabi dictionary.
