I was surfing through the net, in search for good writing programmers, and came across these: (I think all of this would be of a great help to our writers)

1. OneLook dictionary: I think this is a fascinating tool for any writer. It is not an ordinary dictionary. You can search words from a variety of ways. Writings struggling with proper words may find it come useful. For instance:

Example searches

bluebird	Find definitions of bluebird
blue*	Find words and phrases that start with blue
*bird	Find words and phrases that end with bird
bl????rd	Find words that start with bl, end with rd, and have 4 letters in between
bl*:snow	Find words that start with bl and have a meaning related to snow
*:snow or :snow	Find any words related to snow
*:winter sport	Find words related to the concept winter sport
winter	Find phrases that contain the word winter
expand:nasa	Find phrases that spell out n.a.s.a.

2. Visuwords: It shows the relationship between one words and another. It is just fascinating. I cannot copy/paste things from there to here to show members, but I recommend everyone to go there and have a look at the site.

3. Write Rhymes: Designed for the want-to-be-a-poet-but-don't-have-suitable-vocabulary-for-it members. Type a word, and find a suitable rhyme for it.

4. Verbix: Deals, with people who have got problems with verbs and tenses...

5. Word Counter: Afraid you are being repititious and monotonous? Use this to find out which word you have over-used, and which you have not.
