I was surfing through the net, in search for good writing programmers, and came across these: (I think all of this would be of a great help to our writers)
1. OneLook dictionary: I think this is a fascinating tool for any writer. It is not an ordinary dictionary. You can search words from a variety of ways. Writings struggling with proper words may find it come useful. For instance:
Example searches
2. Visuwords: It shows the relationship between one words and another. It is just fascinating. I cannot copy/paste things from there to here to show members, but I recommend everyone to go there and have a look at the site.
3. Write Rhymes: Designed for the want-to-be-a-poet-but-don't-have-suitable-vocabulary-for-it members. Type a word, and find a suitable rhyme for it.
4. Verbix: Deals, with people who have got problems with verbs and tenses...
5. Word Counter: Afraid you are being repititious and monotonous? Use this to find out which word you have over-used, and which you have not.
