+## Fuzzing dictionaries
+
+Go-fuzz supports user-defined dictionaries containing tokens or interesting byte sequences. Dictionaries replace the 
+low-signal token list that is automatically generated by go-fuzz with a high-signal token list. 
+Use `-dict DICTIONARY_FILE` to provide a dictionary. The dictionary syntax is the same as AFL/Libfuzzer. 
+See [AFL Dictionaries](https://github.com/google/AFL/blob/master/dictionaries/README.dictionaries) for more information.

 ## libFuzzer support
 
 go-fuzz-build can also generate an archive file
