    Don’t you hate it when a word gets stuck on the tip of your tongue? If you or your students rely too much on the word “thing” when trying to describe something, visit the OneLook Reverse Dictionary.

    Type in an approximate definition, and you’ll get a list of words that may fit what you typed. Chances are you’ll know the word when you see it. And you may even add a few new terms to your vocabulary. -BILL FERRIS

    This website can be great even if you know the word you’re looking for. Just yesterday I wanted to write “smorgasbord” and couldn’t for the life of me remember how to spell it. I type “a variety of foods” and poof it’s the first item on the list. Score!
