Is there any site or app where you could explore lists of Latin words, preferably with categorisation of nouns, verbs, adjectives etc.?

I am at a point in my language learning journey where I want to be able to compose sentences.

Normal dictionary apps where you have to search for words aren't useful for me if I don't know the words.

If anyone tries to recommend me a book, well availability is limited where I am, so hopefully if you recommend me one I could find it on the internet iykyk.

Wiktionary is the best non-specialised multilingual dictionary on the internet, definitely useful for composition. You can search for an English word and then check its translations into other languages. Since it's a wiki it depends on user input so it's not exhaustive, but it's usually accurate and for most words you should be able to find a Latin translation.

Lingua Latina per se illustrata. It's a book but should be available as a pdf if you know where to find it.
