It allows you to search for the simplest words and phrases, but also to use literary language and to alternate between styles to enrich or simplify your writing.
If you are looking for familiar words or slang (such as “bucks” or “dude”), you are likely to discover highly evocative language.
Suggestions may sometimes be surprising because they are selected by complex processes, so please let us know if there are inaccuracies so they can be corrected.
When a word can have multiple meanings, such as “show” (as a verb: “demonstrate", "display”; as a noun: "exhibition", "performance"), they are clearly separated.
Suggestions are sorted by relevance, and the first ones are bolded. You can also sort them alphabetically with the most relevant highlighted. We chose to limit the initial display to 20 items in each category, but in many cases you can show dozens more results with just one click.
In addition, for words with multiple meanings you may toggle whether meanings are combined in one group or displayed separately by checking and unchecking the option “grouped”.
Some synonyms are illustrated with examples, which are selected automatically from various sources and may not match the intended meaning. Click on a synonym to see sentences that contain it.
