Give wordnet a try Jul 29, 2002

Try Wordnet.



I haven\'t used this resource much, so I don\'t know how complete it is, but technically, its approach to synonyms is unique and very powerful:

There is more to it than antonyms and synonyms; there are also other relationships expressed between words, like \"is a\", \"is a part of\", etc.

Diccionarios.com Jul 29, 2002

Hi, munchkin



WordNet is amazing, and for English/Spanish, Spanish/English and Spanish monolingual (definitions, synonyms, antonyms), Diccionarios.com is useful and easy to use(although a bit basic).
