Everywhere means in all places or locations. If something is everywhere, you can find it no matter where you look. When dandelions bloom in spring, they seem to pop up everywhere: in yards, parks, sidewalks, and fields. When a song becomes hugely popular, you might hear it everywhere you go, from stores to car radios to your friends humming it at school.

The word describes complete coverage or presence across a space. If you've looked everywhere for your missing library book, you've searched your room, your backpack, the kitchen, and every other spot you can think of. Sometimes people exaggerate and say something is everywhere when they really mean it's just very common. Your brother might complain that your toys are everywhere, even if they're only scattered across the living room floor.

Everywhere is the opposite of nowhere. While nowhere means not in any place, everywhere means in every place. When you clean your room and can't find anywhere to put your stuff, it might feel like your belongings are everywhere at once.
