While I don't know of any straight dictionaries that organize words by number of syllables, many [rhyming dictionaries](https://writers.stackexchange.com/a/311/26) _will_ organize rhymes by how many syllables they contain, or by how many syllables rhyme. ("Example" is a three-syllable word that's a two-syllable rhyme with "ample" and a one-syllable rhyme with "steeple".)
