I used to repeat the same words constantly in my papers. My professor kept writing "repetitive" in the margins. Then I found some amazing synonym resources and my writing improved overnight.
Thesaurus.com is my go-to for quick lookups. It's free and has a huge database . But I learned the hard way that not every synonym fits every context. Now I always check examples before using a new word.
Merriam-Webster's Thesaurus includes sample sentences that show how words are actually used . That context saved me from embarrassing mistakes.
Power Thesaurus is crowdsourced and great for when I need options fast . I use it for brainstorming, then verify with a dictionary.
For academic writing, the Academic Phrasebank is a lifesaver—it gives you phrases for introductions, discussions, conclusions .
Now my writing is so much more varied. If you're stuck in a word rut, try these!
