It should prove ideal for helping you pinpoint exactly the right word for a particular situation, whether you are writing a letter, preparing a report, composing an essay, writing creatively, or solving a crossword. Over 325,000 alternative words cover everyday vocabulary as well as more unusual and specialist words, and there is clear labelling of informal, dialect, literary, and technical items. The closest and most useful alternative words are given first, with words which are closest in meaning to the entry word given in capitals. Other useful features include thousands of example phrases helping you to select the correct word, and opposites and related terms clearly marked.

Customer Reviews

User friendly layout

Use of two colour layout has rendered the thesaurus highly reading friendly. Each meaning has a sentence at the beginning, thereby explaining the meaning precisely. I am in love with it.
