Dear writers of all varieties, I present the ultimate word website.
You can search words, parts of words, definitions of words, words related to a concept, phrases containing words & so much more.
It will give you the definition & a big list of dictionaries to choose from if you want more detail or to find a description you understand better. It includes the urban dictionary & encyclopedias.
Also, there's a fun game

Guys I don't think the word I'm looking for exists. I just searched up "calmly pursuing" in reverse dictionary and the first result was "serenely pursuing" #6 was blood
Other words I got: Belle, AUT (Auckland University of Technology), cheese, artesian well, the Moroccan dog breed Aidi, lazy Susan, and honda

If you were to have an afflatus, I would say that you'd be a Star afflatus. What do you think I would be?
OOOO I LOVE THAT AFFLATUS
Star and Spirits are my favorites. Good judgement, I'm pretty sure I fall under the girlfailure category of Star afflatus 🙏
You give Mineral vibes ngl, I can't see you as another afflatus. If you were to fall into the Mineral category, I'd say you'd go right along with Necrologist and Semmelweis, wouldn't be able to describe their vibes but that's what I believe
#reverse 1999#THE BUNNY#Intellect and Spirits are the rarest to give to people#Though HELL YEAH#peace and love everyone#Spirits arcanists are so wide I could just put them in the freak (freaky and the dictionary meaning) category#meanwhile Intellects well#explodes#You Mineral you give me brown vibes

Not just writers. Now that I've reached my twilight years, my mental word lookup hardware is getting fairly rusty and creaky with age (particularly for the more obscure and archaic terms I've used all of my life). OneLook is a lifesaver.
E.g., was trying to remember the phrase "cautionary tale", typed "story with warning" into OneLook. 1st suggestion returned.
some people think writers are so eloquent and good with words, but the reality is that we can sit there with our fingers on the keyboard going, “what’s the word for non-sunlight lighting? Like, fake lighting?” and for ten minutes, all our brain will supply is “unofficial”, and we know that’s not the right word, but it’s the only word we can come up with…until finally it’s like our face got smashed into a brick wall and we remember the word we want is “artificial”.

hey sorry if this is the wrong kind of question? But I don’t think it is?
anyways, are there any blogs you recommend following if you’re questioning your sexuality (specifically if think you might be into girls as a girl/girl-adjacent)?
thank you!!! 🩷❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜🖤🩶🤍🤎
Hello!
This isn’t the type of thing that I typically help out with (mostly because I don’t really know about/follow many queer-related blogs), sorry!
From a quick search, the main two blogs I found were @questioning-culture-is and @our-queer-experience. (let me know if you want to be untagged!)

spellcheck: *eyes
Me: you fool, you absolute knave. There's no mistake here: Time only has the one
spellcheck: I'm the fool? go on, hit ignore all, take your chances. How sure are you there's not a true mistake of plurality in there with literally any other character?? How confident are you this is not an error you would ever make? How profound is your hubris?
Me: fine, touche
spellcheck: 47 errors to go :)
#wash rinse repeat for Warriors as a plural#reverse uno card is my having at some pointed added "twilihgt' to my dictionary#So that is definitely a misspelling that probably constantly eludes me#sighhhhhh#spellcheck and me really going face to face#it is very very dumb#and has an absolutely MISERABLE dictionary#linked universe

i have onelook thesaurus saved as one of my alternate search engines im not even joking its such a life saver
some people think writers are so eloquent and good with words, but the reality is that we can sit there with our fingers on the keyboard going, “what’s the word for non-sunlight lighting? Like, fake lighting?” and for ten minutes, all our brain will supply is “unofficial”, and we know that’s not the right word, but it’s the only word we can come up with…until finally it’s like our face got smashed into a brick wall and we remember the word we want is “artificial”.
#onelook thesaurus#reverse dictionary#writing#writing resources#even for non creative writing its so useful#elevating my vocabulary for my college essays so i sound smart

Yenicurilda(?)/Diviner Tres comparing their results on divination methinks...
And then the fact they all write it in their own languages; Mercuria's is the easiest since she writes in English, then Matilda's is in French, but both herself and Yenisei understands French...
And then Yenisei 😭
Matilda: Should I also show my feet or...?
Mercuria and Yenisei in their i2 garments: ???
Yenisei and Matilda reading Mercuria's writing: Nice writing, very smooth
Yenisei and Mercuria reading Matilda's writing: Written in french, only Yenisei can understand but the handwriting is neat and professional
Mercuria and Matilda reading Yenisei's writing: ...What does it say here?
Yenisei: I have no idea.
Now that I think about it, Matilda attracts not shoe wearers because Kanjira, Mercuria and Yenisei don't wear shoes (though Mercuria's are almost flipflops 😭).
Sonetto didn't want her bc she wears shoes trust me/silly
Matilda feels slightly out of place in her i2 outfit but she hates the feeling of the cold floor against her feet. But when surrounded by her lovers, she ends up questioning if she should take off her shoes.
Matilda: ...Should I also take off my shoes?
Yenisei & Mercuria: ? What do you mean?
Matilda points at their feet
: Ah...
#reverse 1999#defining sanity#She walked barefoot for a day#ahe didn't like it and decided to stay with shoes#her lovers are used to it but Matilda is a rich girl#she's not used to it 😞#Imagine Mercuria and Matilda having a very important note from Yenisei and having to grab a self- made dictionary#of Yenisei's writing to read that note
