Happy Writing!
This thesaurus (pronounced the-SOR-us) is
here to help! You can use it to find just the
word you need so you don’t have to use the
same words over and over and over again.
It may even teach you some new words, too.
Words are powerful. They help us express
what we think and feel. But sometimes it’s
hard to think of exactly the right words
to use.
