LanguageTool
LanguageTool provides a handy and free synonym finder for more precise writing. Find out more about this thesaurus function here.
What Is a Thesaurus?
You’re probably familiar with this situation: You know exactly what you want to say, but you can’t think of that one utterly appropriate term. Or another scenario: You are delighted with the outcome of your text, but you sense that one word or passage could be ambiguous or even misleading for the readers. Yet, there would have been a far better word. Also, there are texts in which you use a certain word over and over again, but this can certainly be changed.
LanguageTool has the solution for you. The intelligent writing assistant not only corrects mistakes, but optimizes your writing with the synonym function (thesaurus), if desired. Let’s show you why this is a great enrichment for your writing, and of course how you can best use the feature.
Why You Should Try Out the Synonym Function
Two (or more) terms are synonymous with each other if they carry exactly the same meaning. It doesn’t matter whether the word is inflected or used with other terms. A synonym can replace the respective term in almost any context… so much for the ideal definition of synonyms.
Strictly speaking, there are seldom cases of true synonymy in reality. One example of these rare cases might be takeout and take-away. They both mean the same thing, namely “prepared food that is to be consumed away from its selling place”.
We offer dine-in, but also take-away.
We offer dine-in, but also takeout.
Both sentences contain the same amount of information. However, there’s still a flaw in this almost ideal word pair: In British English, speakers tend to use takeout 20% more often than take-away; American speakers use takeout 13 times more frequently than its synonym.
Another example is the synonym pair to try and to attempt, as in:
They attempt to swim in the dangerous river.
They try to swim in the dangerous river.
How to Find the Most Suitable Synonyms
LanguageTool shows all real synonyms, but also partial synonyms of your selected words. At the same time, it marks practical hints on their usage. Double-click on a term to see its suggested alternatives. For the take-away example, you will be shown the following options:
You will find information about the respective part of speech in brackets. Below that, there are individual options, which you can insert with a simple click on the term you want. Try to be careful with your selection. While takeout is a perfect replacement for take-away, portable may also appear in other contexts (“everything that you can move or carry”) as it is only a modifier.
The thesaurus finds even more alternatives for the word attempt. The fields with three dots indicate that there are further synonyms in the glossary.
As you can see, some alternatives have further information in brackets. Generic, for example, designates superordinate terms (hypernyms) to choose from. In some cases, it may be better to talk about acting or moving in general instead of specifying the action further. Phrasal verbs (e.g., (to) try out) get the tag related. At the bottom of this example, there is also a list of alternative nouns. But since the sentence requires a verb, none of these would fit here.
In some cases, the thesaurus shows a long list of possible synonyms:
To test it, just double-click on “synonyms” and find its alternatives. You can also enter any other word, and search for its suggestions:
Where to Enable the Synonym Search
The synonym function is integrated into LanguageTool. If you use one of the LT add-ons, you can search for suitable words on any web page with a multi-line text field.
You can find the synonym function in your global settings. However, you can also use the feature within the LT Editor, which you get for free with the Mac App or the Windows App. Of course, it works just as well in our e-mail add-on for Thunderbird as well as our office plug-ins. For more information, please visit the LanguageTool homepage.
By the way, LanguageTool relies on data from WordNet for its thesaurus function. This website has many enthusiastic users who find synonyms with it every day.
WordNet | A Lexical Database for English
With an almost unlimited choice of synonyms, it is possible to click on a word that would otherwise have been an okay choice, but does not sound exactly right with the surrounding words. Then again, the error correction of LanguageTool steps in and points to the (stylistically) correct way. It shows some good options … no, some really appropriate alternatives … just the best synonyms.
Advantages of an Integrated Thesaurus
- You’ll immediately find the words you’ve been looking for.
- You find better terms you haven’t thought of yet.
- You avoid word repetition and a monotonous style.

We Value Your Feedback
We’ve made a mistake, forgotten about an important detail, or haven’t managed to get the point across? Let’s help each other to perfect our writing.
For a long time, my trusty, old 1996 copy of Roget’s II The New Thesaurus was my favorite writer’s reference.
When I needed to find synonyms or antonyms to liven up my writing, my well-worn thesaurus was always at hand.
Now, with the resources available online and on our smartphones, a synonym for thesaurus might be “dinosaurus.”
As writers with all the tools to find spectacular words at our fingertips, we have no excuse for dull, drab, colorless language!
Allow me to introduce three very cool tools for finding the most top tier, exigent, and loquacious synonyms and antonyms on the web…
1. Synonym Finder
Synonyms are words that mean the same thing, or close to the same thing.
Whereas, antonyms are words that have opposite meanings.
Synonym Finder can help you find both synonyms and antonyms. It also includes a search for word definitions.
The application is very user friendly and easy to figure out. In a word: utilitarian.
All you need to do is choose whether you want a synonym, antonym, or definition, and type in the word you want to find.
For example, search BORING and Synonym Finder offers synonyms for both the noun and adjective forms of BORING.
And you can click on each suggested synonym to get its full definition and usage examples.
Synonym Finder has one unique function I didn’t find with the other tools – it offers what they call “similar words,” also known as hypernyms (which I had to look up).
A hypernym is a word that is more generic than a given word. And while hypernyms might be interesting to us word geeks, I’m not sure, as a writer, you want to go with a word that is more generic/ordinary/boring than the word you started with.
But wait! There’s another intriguing and beguiling surprise from Synonym Finder.
At the bottom of the page after the detailed synonym results, you’ll find the “Visual Thesaurus” that gives a graphic representation of your word results. This can be helpful if you are a visual learner.
Synonym Finder is a good tool, with a few nifty features. For a little more oomph with a different twist, consider…
2. Power Thesaurus
Power Thesaurus self-describes as “a fast, convenient and comprehensive online thesaurus.”
It is unique in offering crowdsourced word associations, where visitors can suggest synonyms and antonyms, with editorial input and a user-rating system.
Power Thesaurus offers a more in-depth presentation of information than Synonym Finder — including synonyms and antonyms and various ways to analyze results.
You can also vote for your favorite word choices with a Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down.
Power Thesaurus is free to use, but as it’s funded by crowdsourcing, you can make a donation if you appreciate the service. It also has an app you can download for your smartphone.
3. Dictionary.com and Thesaurus.com
I must confess — Dictionary.com has become my most favorite, go-to solution since I retired my much-loved copy of Roget’s II The New Thesaurus.
You’ll see that Dictionary.com and Thesaurus.com are two separate pages on the same larger website.
Both offer an easy-to-use interface, with plenty of trivia, word-geek information, and an engaging presentation.
One of my favorite features is the audio button — click to hear the word in that oh-so-sexy computer voice, which can be incredibly helpful.
Both sites also provide an app for your smartphone.
Thesaurus.com includes comprehensive information on synonyms and antonyms, with related word lists. The source listed is Roget’s 21st Century Thesaurus, Third Edition (2013), which is probably why I find the format so familiar and comforting.
Did I mention I loved my trusty, old thesaurus?
Summary
The next time you’re struggling to find the right word to use in your writing, you’ll know where to find the most elucidating and meritorious synonyms and antonyms to freshen up your language.
All the tools I included here are 100% free to use. So try them out today and start making your writing more interesting.
And if you’re looking for more ways to spice up and streamline your writing, you can check out these additional hand-picked tools for writers.
I promise your readers will thank you.
The 10 Best Synonym Sites to Find Similar Words Online
With all sorts of synonyms for words, it can be hard to find what you’re looking for. So, here are ten online synonym dictionaries that can help.
Synonyms are words you use when you can’t spell the first one. Okay, that’s just a joke or a quip or a wisecrack or a jest, jive, or jape. But I think you get my point. Synonyms allow us never to be at a loss for words.
If you know your synonyms, it will give you the odds when it comes to word games like crosswords and Scrabble. We writers get to embellish our work with different words with the same meaning because using a single word throughout sounds flat.
When it comes to vocabulary, we all hit a wall occasionally. Thanks to the web and online synonym dictionaries, we no longer need to pick up that hardbound heavy thesaurus. Fill in the little field, and these free thesauruses (synonym finders) spill out words by the dozen. Which are the better synonyms websites out there?
Here’s a list of the best synonym websites online.
1. Thesaurus.com
This site is one of the best sites for synonyms. It offers one of the highest numbers of results for a word. The site is the other face of Dictionary.com. With the synonyms on display, you can explore the menu bar for meanings, games, word of the day, and handy guides to improve your learning and writing.
Scroll down on a word’s page, and you’ll learn more about a word, including how to use it, the antonyms, and discover related words.
2. Synonym.com
This site can help you find similar words online without a hassle. It also provides you with various definitions of the word in question, the history behind it, and antonyms.
However, the number of words listed is lesser than what you’ll find on Thesaurus.com. The synonyms are arranged around the “meaning” they are meant to convey.
You can also discover trending searches on the website and word of the day.
3. Synonyms.com
This word site does a much better job of searching out synonyms and presenting a lot of related information around the results. The synonyms themselves are again hyperlinked. You can also learn how to pronounce words without an extra click.
Synonyms.com also includes word translations in different languages and a visual presentation. There’s also a how-to section for using a searched word in a sentence and a citation aid. You can also find alternative searches for the word and its “nearby and related queries”.
The website also has a Chrome extension to help you find synonyms more easily.
4. Synonym Finder
Synonym Finder gives you hyperlinked words along with their definition, usage, and a visual presentation. Synonym Finder provides different synonyms grouped according to the context.
It isn’t as robust as Thesaurus.com or Synonym.com, but offers a clean user interface that’s easy to navigate. You can also use the top menu box to get to the antonyms of a word and definitions.
5. Merriam-Webster Thesaurus
Merriam-Webster is an online dictionary that also provides synonyms. You can use the website or download the dedicated app available on Android and iOS.
The website is a full-blown dictionary app that gives you definitions, synonyms, related words, near antonyms, and more. It also provides you with related phrases and citation aid.
6. Big Huge Thesaurus
The Big Huge Thesaurus (BHT) is based on Princeton University’s WordNet database, the Carnegie Mellon Pronouncing Dictionary, and other sources.
The word tool returns quite a large hyperlinked list, which you can explore further. However, BHT doesn’t provide word definitions, so it’s worth paying closer attention to which synonym you pick.
Like other websites, it does provide you with antonyms. You will also find words that “sound kind of like” and those that rhyme the word in question if you’re trying to kick start that rap career.
7. The Free Thesaurus
The Free Thesaurus, by The Free Dictionary, can also be handy for finding synonyms. The Free Thesaurus allows you to explore a word in different domains, like law, finance, and medicine, on top of giving you synonyms. It includes a related word as well, and a visual presentation.
The “Starts with” and “Ends with” options help you get complete lists of words if the actual word slips past your memory.
Being part of The Free Dictionary, you can use the website to find acronyms, idioms, and meanings of words in one single place.
8. Collins Dictionary
Collins Dictionary is an online dictionary that does more than the average online dictionary. It also includes a thesaurus and translator.
You can also learn how to pronounce the different synonyms. Collins Dictionary also includes a video at the bottom of each word to teach you pronunciation.
9. Word Hippo
WordHippo is another handy website for hunting down synonyms. It has a pretty straightforward user interface that you’ll feel at home the first time.
Type in a word and select Synonyms from the tab, and the website will present you with a variety of options. Besides throwing synonyms at you, it also specifies which part of speech the word is for some context. WordHippo goes a mile further by providing synonyms of your keyword in different contexts.
Additionally, WordHippo provides you with related words and phrases. And if that’s not enough, the site is also a one-stop-shop for antonyms, rhymes, translations, and you can also learn how to pronounce. WordHippo is accessible via the web, but you can download its Android and iOS apps if you want.
10. Power Thesaurus
Power Thesaurus is yet another online synonym finder website. As one of the best synonym finders, Power Thesaurus provides you with dozens if not hundreds of synonyms. A dictionary is also available to check the definition of each synonym in an easily accessible drop-down menu.
The site also includes antonyms, examples in a sentence, phrases, and idioms. Power Thesaurus has an extension on Chrome and Microsoft Edge that allows you to check synonyms of words across the web in just a click. With the web extension, you don’t have to visit the website anymore.
Find Dozens of Synonyms With Ease
The age of carrying around a voluminous thesaurus is behind us, with the internet making it possible to look up synonyms in a blink of an eye. Use any of the ten websites to find similar words online with ease. Try each of them and find what’s convenient for you in the long run.
Using a dictionary extension is one of the best ways to find synonyms with ease. For instance, in Google Docs, you can install different Add Ons solely dedicated to finding synonyms.
Using the thesaurus, you can look up synonyms (different words with the same meaning) and antonyms (words with the opposite meaning).
Tip: In the desktop versions of Word, PowerPoint, and Outlook, you can get a quick list of synonyms by right-clicking a word and choosing Synonyms. The Office Online apps don’t include a synonym finder.
