When I'm writing stuff for uni I often can't think of the exact word I want. Like yesterday I was trying to think of a word that meant to shine light on - illuminate finally came to me but not for an annoyingly long time. Does anyone know of a site that you can put definitions in and it will come up with words to suit? Like a reverse dictionary ;) . Sort of like a thesaurus but usually with a thesaurus you put in one word and it comes up with synonyms - if I could think of one word I'd use that ;)

Try this . it got something like reverse dictionary.
