The way Reverse Dictionary works is pretty simple. It simply looks through tonnes of dictionary definitions and grabs the ones that most closely match your search query. For example, if you type something like «longing for a time in the past», then the engine will return «nostalgia». The engine has indexed several million definitions so far, and at this stage it’s starting to give consistently good results (though it may return weird results sometimes). It acts a lot like a thesaurus except that it allows you to search with a definition, rather than a single word. So in a sense, this tool is a «search engine for words», or a sentence to word converter.
I made this tool after working on Related Words which is a very similar tool, except it uses a bunch of algorithms and multiple databases to find similar words to a search query. That project is closer to a thesaurus in the sense that it returns synonyms for a word (or short phrase) query, but it also returns many broadly related words that aren’t included in thesauri. So this project, Reverse Dictionary, is meant to go hand-in-hand with Related Words to act as a word-finding and brainstorming toolset. For those interested, I also developed Describing Words which helps you find adjectives and interesting descriptors for things (e.g. waves, sunsets, trees, etc.).
In case you didn’t notice, you can click on words in the search results and you’ll be presented with the definition of that word (if available). The definitions are sourced from the famous and open-source WordNet database, so a huge thanks to the many contributors for creating such an awesome free resource.
Special thanks to the contributors of the open-source code that was used in this project: Elastic Search, @HubSpot, WordNet, and @mongodb.

I’ve broken down the basics of UX writing into two interconnected goals: 1.) write clearly and 2.) reduce users’ cognitive load.
Excited about making words work? Let’s dig in…
1) Write Clearly
Well okay, so before digging into the interesting stuff, I have to touch on understandability. Above all, UX writing needs to be clear, correct and easy to comprehend.
Two quick notes on writing understandably: be concise and be specific.
Be Concise
In the clearest writing, every word serves a purpose. Short sentences and paragraphs are easier to read than long ones. (And people are more likely to read short things!)
When I was a PhD student, we were required to write a ten-page paper early in the semester. We submitted it dutifully. Our next assignment was to shorten that paper from ten to five pages without losing any meaning. We handed that in, too. A few weeks later, much to our grumblings, our final assignment was to abbreviate the same text to TWO AND A HALF pages, still without losing any meaning.
We were, y’know, not happy about all the editing, but we learned that it was possible to drastically shorten our writing by stripping the text down to its elements.
Acronyms can hinder understandability too.Whenever you use an acronym, make sure you define it. (I even define UX as User Experience at the beginning of most of my articles to be sure everyone understands.) Using an acronym without spelling it out will likely be a problem to somebody, no matter how ubiquitous you believe it is.
Product users should be able to read text quickly and easily — that is, without muttering “Hmm, wait minute…” and rereading it with a furrowed brow. We’ve all been there, and it’s not fun.
Cognitive load is a psychology term that you might hear in the context of design. Cognitive load refers to the amount of users’ mental effort that something requires. The higher the cognitive load, the more likely users will get confused or frustrated.
It takes more mental effort to read something that is unclear, which can easily lead to frustration when interacting with a product. Below are some stylistic tips for keeping cognitive load low with UX writing.
Use active voice and address users
Active voice is stronger and clearer and slightly faster for readers to interpret. Pro tip: if you can end your sentence with “by zombies” it’s passive voice!
Consider the differences between:
- “We saved your response” vs. “Your response has been saved” (…by zombies?)
- “14 people liked your post” vs. “Your post has been liked by 14 people” (…or zombies.)
- “Finalizing Installation” vs. “Installation being finalized” (…by zombies!)
Active voice statements make it easier for readers to follow along without thinking about it. Active voice also attributes credit (or blame) rather than being ambiguous, which can possibly help users build trust in your product.
While you’re using active voice, you should also address users with ‘you’, ‘your’ and directions for what they need to do. Trust me, users will appreciate the clarity (though probably without realizing it).
After all, which of these is better?
- “Restart your computer” (active voice, addresses the user) or “The computer must be restarted” (…by zombies.)
Start with the objective
Be direct at the start of the sentence by getting to the objective or user goal, right away. Because users are quickly scanning content, it’s useful to give important information upfront.
In user interfaces, this means you should write the user goal first and the user action second. Instead of “To find out more, contact us” make a switch to “Contact us to find out more.”
Be mindful of jargon
Engineering language often escapes into a user interface, which can create confusion and frustration. UXers should spot these instances and make swaps for more user-friendly wording.
Phrasing things in the users’ point of view also reduces cognitive load. Otherwise, it takes a little mental effort to translate the text into what it means for them.
So, don’t say “authenticate your login credentials” when you can say “sign in with your email address.” Error messages especially need to express plain language so users know how to fix the problem.
Of course, when it comes to jargon, if you are designing for specific populations (like in healthcare or agriculture) you should define and use the terminology used by that group. You don’t want to make users translate your product’s words into their everyday words.

How to use «User-friendly» in context?
User friendliness has always been an important consideration for any piece of software. Whether it is for people who are using the software for the first time or for people who are using it on a regular basis, it is important that the software is easy to use.
