Synopsis
How do you find those elusive words that you just can't bring to mind but are on the tip of your tongue? Can you remember the word used to describe a fear of heights? Do you know the word for the plastic used for gramophone records? What is the word for a water slide at a swimming pool? The Oxford Reverse Dictionary will help you find words you can't remember whereas a thesaurus will find alternatives to a word that you know. Words are grouped by subject-related key words, for example lapdog, pack, retriever, and hackles can all be found under the key word dog. -- Contains 31,000 entries listed under a wide range of subject areas and key words -- Ideal for crossword and other word game lovers who want to find the words that they are looking for -- A perfect vocabulary builder, it gives information on related adjectives, irregular plurals, and combining forms
