Megawords 12+

Works well as an intensive thesaurus.

I can only rate this app in Crossword/Wildcard mode, since I use it as an add-on thesaurus. It works well for that when you need to find a different synonym that isn’t in the standard lists. In fact, for many words the list can be huge and if the needed word can’t be found, the it probably doesn’t exist in the English language.

For some reason, the word is usually listed twice in the results. Clicking on either brings up the same list. No problem, just an anomaly that I noticed.

One nitpick, however, is that unlike the other apps that I use with Scrivener, this one does not remember its placement when closed. It always starts in the same place, in the upper left of the screen and offset by a few inches. So, when started it has to be dragged out of the way and to the proper place with the other supporting apps.

But, it works well for finding obscure words.

Love it!

I find this program very useful with respect to all that it claims to do. It's quick and accurate and, frankly, I would pay a moderate price for what is a totally free program! Thank you for making this available!!

Hi, the thesaurus only comes into play if you tap a word in a list. It then displays the definition of the word (if it knows it) and any synonyms etc.
