GENERAL RESOURCES
OneLook Reverse
Dictionary
http://www.onelook.com/reverse-dictionary.shtml
Users can type in a concept into a search engine and receive a list
of words and phrases related to that concept. For example, typing in
"joy from the pain of others" returns over one hundred results,
including "schadenfreude" and "regret". There are
several other uses to the site, including the ability to explore related
concepts or to answer basic identification questions. Perhaps the most
important function of the Reverse
Dictionary is that users (if they are so inclined) may also use the
database to solve crossword puzzle clues.
