In any article, smart and witty words stand out. At the same time throwing big words can be a turn-o . And therefore, perfect words make a world of a di erence. Building a vocabulary that is suitable for your target audience’s needs should be your rst step. And content that they can relate to is a great way to write interesting, engaging and largely unique content. Things get much harder though for rookie writers getting into the corporate job. When I worked as a content writer for a digital marketing company, I had to describe nearly 20 di erent bedsheets in 20 di erent ways with nearly 40 adjectives. Do the math and come up with 40 synonyms or ‘other words’ for beautiful and if you have an answer at the tip of your nger in a minute, you can close this article right now. You are amazing and you don’t need this piece of advice. If you are still counting, let me tell you, you are not alone. A whopping 92% writers face a mental block when it comes to using the right words. But thanks to technology and a thesaurus, life is slightly better. Looking at how the rst job of most content writers is for companies like Grofers, Amazon, and Flipkart where they have to describe products in 50 words; Being good at this play of words is an extreme necessity for all beginners. So here is a list of Vocabulary tools that will make your search for words go beyond the usual Google search result of ‘synonyms of a word’.

1. YourDictionary

This site is a revolution in the world of easy word searching platforms. The tool trains in a very appealing and e ective way by giving examples, sentences, famous quotes, and pronunciations.

2. Lingro

Lingro is a multilingual portal that helps you look up a word and nd its meaning in any of their listed languages. A series of synonyms are displayed as well.

3. Padlet

Padlet is a unique Internet application that allows students to post their thoughts on a common topic using electronic sticky notes on a shared digital wall. I have used it in past to create a vocabulary word wall where I go about saving all the new words I nd. So the next time you encounter a block, you can also nd your words on these virtual sticky notes. Moreover, You can include text, images, videos and links for future reference.

4. Shahi

When you need images to de ne something, think of Shahi. This is a visual dictionary that mixes Wiktionary content with Flickr images, google and yahoo references and much much more.

5. Thsrs

Like the spin on the name of this tool suggests, this is a twist to the classic thesaurus and provides you with synonyms which are shorter than the searched word. This is great for word limit based areas or at the times you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to use a word that takes up half the line.

6. Big Huge Thesaurus

Meet the big daddy of Thsrs. This tool returns a large list of synonyms that can be explored further as they are hyperlinked. You will nd a drop-down which helps nd antonyms, rhymes, related words and so on. I also love going through the Story plot generator. It’s one of my favorite pass times. Do give it a couple clicks and if you are like me, you wouldn’t know how past couple hours went by.

7. Lexipedia

Lexipedia is a visual thesaurus. When you key in one word, the site shows a bunch of related words. Hover over a word and a complete de nition appears!

8. Word Hippo

This tool is simply amazing because it does a whole lot of things. It de nes a word, provides meaning, the opposite, pronunciations, rhyming words (poetry life saver!), places the word in di erent contexts and even translates the word if you want.

9. Snappy Words

Snappy Words is a tool very similar to Lexipedia and works as a visual thesaurus too. My intention here is to provide you All Vocabulary tools I think can be helpful to one. Your choice of results and interface can help you pick the best one that suits your needs.

10. Wordnik

Though similar to a traditional dictionary by the looks, Wordnik provides images related to the searched word, hear related sounds, see tweets with the word highlighted hence lending relatable perspective. Wordnik also features Random Words, Word of the day, and the relevant pronunciations.

11. Visual Dictionary Online

This simple to use tool is handy when it comes to looking up words that t a certain theme. The search also includes subcategories to pick from. I am especially attracted towards the Encyclopedia feel it provides for each time I want a visualÂ representation of something.

12. Synonym Finder

This is a neat tool and provides you with hyperlinked synonyms with de nition and the usage. Upon additional search, opposites can be obtained as well.

13. Thesaurus

The good old thesaurus works wonders when you want to nd a word, synonyms, and the antonyms. A quick x in most cases.

14. Synonym.com

Very easy interface that allows you to look for meaning and similar words e ortlessly. Antonyms are also displayed.

15. Synonyms.net

This site presents a lot of related information alongside the synonym result. Each synonym is further hyperlinked. There is an audio to aid in pronunciation, a dropdown that allows you to translate the word, an image and much much more.

16. De neItFast

Yes. You heard right. This site aims to be a super fast dictionary. And it lives up to the name. Find de nitions, synonyms, related words and more speci c words in a ji y, here.

Hello, Shashikant. Thanks for introducing me to these two tools. I love tools that combine fun and education. And Vocabulary.com ts right in. Regarding Power thesaurus, I think here the preference is user based. What, where, how one intends to use a tool describes its feasibility. And nally, it's your decision to decide if one ts your needs more than the other. I would be adding Vocabulary tool to the list mentioned in the Article and make sure that you are mentioned in that section of the post. If you want me to link your LinkedIn pro le or blog, do let me know. Moreover, if you think I have missed a cool feature by Power thesaurus that makes it stand out, do let us know in the chat box. Again, thank you so much for your support.
