Grasping for Words
The
business of web
design and digital
marketing often sends us on a hunt for just the right
word. It's got to start with a certain sound or end with a certain
letter or rhyme with the 3rd word in a sentence. It's enough to send an English Major packing. Here's a couple tools you will find helpful if your job sends
you searching for "just
the right words".
The Visual Thesaurus is a lifesaver for finding synonyms or antonyms. It's an interactive
dictionary and thesaurus which creates word maps with meanings that
branch to related words. Follow the branches and find the words you
need. It's pretty
cool just to see it display the spider diagram on the
screen real-time as the word map is created.
Visit Visual Thesaurus where
you'll find a free trial on the home page. Annual subscriptions are
around $20. If you find yourself looking for just the right word, this
is a must have tool for you. (Also great for Crossword Puzzle fans!)
MoreWords.com is perfect
for when want a word that begins or ends with a certain series of
letters. Great tool when creating tag lines or copy lines that need to
have a certain sound. Checkout our example below. We're looking for a
word that ends with the letters "centric".
By
using the wildcard and hyphen symbols in a string of letters you can
find about any word / letter combination you need. And, it's free. Find
them online at MoreWords.com.
