Question

Answer 1

Yes.  It's called a thesaurus

Answer 2

Sure, you want a synonym dictionary.  go online - here was my google search: http://www.google.com/search?q=synonym+d...

By the way, you could also check out a great synonym dictionary at your local library or bookstore.  They're a wonderful reference for school!

Answer 3

I think you need a thesaurus ot whatever try searching online thesaurus on google

Answer 4

Liam, there are websites that will help you come up with words that mean the same thing and sound smarter.  Sounds like you want synonyms?  

I just checked out the on-line Visual Thesaurus and it is very nifty.  I played a little with their trial version, putting your word, problem in.  It's the first source below.

In fact, if you Google (or Yahoo!) the word thesaurus, you will find many websites you could use.

What I actually use the most is the thesaurus or dictionary option that comes with Microsoft Word.  Here's how you use it:  

Type the word problem.  Put your cursor over the word and hit shift F7.  That will bring up the thesaurus and MANY synonyms for the word problem.  You can click on any synonym and bring up a new list of synonyms for that word.  

You can also click on the drop-down menu beside the word Thesaurus and choose the dictionary, encyclopedia or various other sources.  

I find this method really quick and easy.

Hope this helps!

Answer 5

well i don't know smarter words for "dilemma" but if you go to www.freerice.com you can participate in a multiple-choice quiz.  The words the site uses are mostly words that people don't even know about.  Not only will you learn new words, but you will be donating rice to less fortunate countries.
