Graph Words online Thesaurus

What is it?

It’s an free English online thesaurus that helps you find the meanings of words and show connections among associated words. You can easily see the meaning of each by simply placing the mouse cursor over it.

Underneath Graph Words lays the WordNet - a large lexical database of English. Nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs are grouped into sets of cognitive synonyms (synsets), each expressing a distinct concept. These meanings and semantic relationships are revealed graphically by the HTML5 canvas made available by Graph Words.

Usage of this Online Thesaurus tool

To search for associated words, type the word in the search box at the top of the window and press the "Draw" button. You may also press the enter key instead. After searching for a word, the main display will populate with thesaurus. The word you searched for will appear in the center of the display, and will be surrounded with words and meanings that are related to it.

To save what is currently displayed in the Graph Words, you can press the "Save as image" button on the toolbar.

This program allows you to search for relationships between words, concepts, and people. It is a "combination thesaurus", "rhyming dictionary", "pun generator", and "concept navigator". Use it to find words that fit the needs of whatever writing endeavor you've undertaken, or just to browse concept space. To use the system, enter one or two words into the boxes at the top of the page, select a function to perform, optionally select some word relations to allow, and click Submit Query! Here is a description of the seven functions that are available.

• Connection: This option lets you find connections between two words, concepts, or people, even those that seem unrelated. Try entering a concept into each of the boxes in the first section, select some relations to allow, select the Connection function, and hit Submit Query. You may be surprised at the results!
• Show related: This option shows you how a certain word is related to various other words in the dictionary. You only need to enter a word into the first box to use this option.
• Show reachable: This option shows you words that are more distantly related to the first word. You can specify how distant by typing a different number into the box next to the Show reachable option.
• Intersection: For this option you must enter two words. It finds words that are related to both. You can control how deeply the program searches for commonalities by typing a different number into the box next to the Show reachable option.
• Rhyme coercion: If you're writing rhymed poetry, try entering two words that you wish to rhyme. Using the Rhyme coercion you can find words related to each words, respectively, that rhyme or sound alike.
• Spell check and Substring: These options let you find words in the database that you don't know how to spell. The Spell check option finds words that are spelled similarly to the first word. The Substring option finds words that contain the first word.
