Word Finder

This thesaurus-like app with grade-level selection was designed primarily for writers who write for children and young adults. Yet, it also works well for other writers (use the "no limits" selection).

If you have questions, information is below the app.

"How-to" is below the app.

Information for Using the Word Finder App

Type a word or phrase to use for searching.

Tap the type of search you wish to do. (A search for words related to the search term includes synonyms.)

The results are near the bottom of the app.

The results may include both words and phrases. For definitions, tap a result. To search a result, tap its 🔎 icon.

The popularity number of a result is an approximate average number of times the word is used per million words of published text.

To find words that use certain letters, type the letters into the search box. Then, type ? characters wherever a different letter may be used. And/Or type * where any number of different letters may be used.

When you type a "?" or "*" character in the search box, the "Related Words" button will turn into a "Letters Match" button (and the other buttons will be disabled).
