Tip of My Tongue helps you find that word you're looking for

It sometimes happens that a certain word eludes me. I know it exists, I even know what it sounds like or how it begins or ends — but for the life of me, I can't recall what the exact word is. For situations like these, Tip of My Tongue can come in very handy. To find the word “download,” I only had to tell it that it starts and ends with D, has W somewhere in the middle, and means “transfer.”
The search is very fast, done on-the-fly, as you type. You can search by word parts (beginning, middle, end), by certain letters which it must have or can't have, or by its meaning (you get to specify up to three synonyms). You can then refine the search by specifying a minimum and maximum length, and even what the word sounds like (i.e, what it rhymes with).
To me, this seems to cover all bases. Even a vague notion of what a certain word is should be enough to hone in on that word using Tip of My Tongue. This is definitely one for any writer's toolbox.Filed under: web 2.0, EducationTip of My Tongue helps you find that word you're looking for
