reverse dictionary

An online dictionary where a user submits a sentence or phrase or series of words to a search engine and that search engine then produces that word that the person was defining. Also known as a "rictionary."

I couldn't remember the word for the adjective describing someone who is disposed to being silent or not speaking freely or is reserved, reluctant, or restrained. I used the reverse dictionary, aka "rictionary" at rictionary.com and discovered the word I was searching for was "reticent."
