Nisus Thesaurus
Why it is cool:
- It is free.
- It not only shows you words that are Similar or Opposite, but also “More General” and “More Specific” words as well as things that are parts of the word (“bed” has the part “mattress”) and things of which the word is a part (“leg” is a part of “human body”, “chair” and “journey”).
- It keeps a history of your explorations, so you can follow down a chain of similar words and then back up and try another path.
