Publisher's Descriptions
WinThesaurus provides users with the possibility to easily discover synonyms: words of same or similar meaning.
WinThesaurus can help when you are looking for a particular word but can only think of a similar word. Type the word you know into WinThesaurus (or find it in a list), click once, and you have a list of synonyms. You can select one and copy it to the Windows clipboard with two more clicks.
WinThesaurus has 30,260 root words and phrases, and over 2.5 million synonyms. That is an average of 83 synonyms per root.
Wild cards can substitute for characters in the text entry box. With wild cards you can find multiple roots or synonyms with one entry.
The two wild card characters are:
* substitutes for any number (including zero) of characters
? substitutes for exactly one character
You can use up to eight * in one search. You can use any number of ? in one search. You can mix * and ? in one search. An example of acceptable wild card use is a*b?c*d, which finds abscond, absconded and ascorbic acid among the roots. Wild cards work with both Find In Root Words and Phrases and Find Roots With This Synonym buttons.
