WORDSMYTH

is a free site at http://www.wordsmyth.net/ - the site requires you to register in the usual way – provide a username and password and then you’re in.

Facilities include a Glossary Maker, Quiz builder (for teachers), a Vocabulary builder, an anagram solver and crossword puzzle solver (the less academic uses of the site).

The Glossary Maker is worth a visit. It provides information on all and any words you care to include in the box provided – just remember to separate each word with a comma (,) as per instructions.

Pronunciations
Inflected Forms
Synonyms
Syllables
Definitions
Similar Words
Derived Forms
Examples
Phrases


Boxes can be ticked as you wish, but a full glossary which includes all nine aspects of words you choose to search will give you a lot of valuable information about those words. Print the glossary once it has been made – it will help you to use each word – in both writing as well as in speaking.
